Thoracic Extension
Thoracic Extension targets the mid-back (thoracic spine) to restore mobility and reverse the forward-rounded posture that often comes from working with clients all day. By extending through the upper back over a foam roller or with bodyweight, this movement helps open up the chest and improve spinal alignment. It's especially beneficial for beauty professionals who spend long hours with their arms in front of them, leading to tightness and fatigue in the upper body.
Why It’s Essential for Beauty Pros:
Reverses Forward-Rounded Posture: Helps realign the spine and counteract slouching from working at the shampoo bowl or styling station.
Relieves Upper Back & Shoulder Tension: Improves mobility and reduces stiffness from repetitive forward-reaching tasks.
Improves Overhead Mobility: Supports functional range of motion for reaching and lifting.
Promotes Long-Term Spinal Health: Encourages better movement patterns and reduces the risk of chronic pain.
Thoracic Extension is a must for beauty pros looking to relieve upper back tension, improve posture, and move more freely throughout their workday.
