Foam Roller Upper Back Stretch
How to Do Foam Roller Upper Back Stretch
- Sit on the ground and place a foam roller directly behind your lower back. Bend your knees and place your arms across your chest. Bring your feet to hip-width and allow them to support you as you carefully lean back and on to the foam roller.
- Move your body down on the foam roller until it reaches your upper back. Brace your core and begin by slowly rolling your body up 2 to 3 inches.
- Pause and slowly roll the opposite way. Be sure to roll out at different levels on your upper back.
