We find that the Thoracic Spine is problematic at best with the majority of our athletes. Poor T-Spine mobility is related to shoulder pain and instability, low back pain, neck pain, hip pain, and various other issues throughout the chain. We have found that the TRX Suspension Trainer is a great tool for increasing Thoracic Spine rotation. We have put together a video that lays out the progression we use with a lot of our athletes. It starts at very simple with a low load (1/2 kneeling) and gets progressively more agressive as the athlete can tolerate it. The TRX becomes a great tool here because you can use the athlete’s bodyweight to provide overpressure at the end of an active mobilization. Also, don’t ignore the breathing here, it is very important!
