Tall Kneel Wall Extension
TALL KNEEL WALL EXTENSION
The tall kneel wall extension exercise is used to increase thoracic extension flexibility and to mobilize their joints. Start in a tall kneel position at arms distance from the wall. Support your upper body by anchoring your elbows against the wall. Extend the spine by pulling your chest forwards and down. Similar to a cat camel / cat cow exercise, once at maximum extension begin to flex the spine but stop once you’ve reached neutral position. Repeat as needed.
