Description: How to Fix Bad Posture With a Foam Roller ➡️ Check out the FitIndex vibrating foam roller PainFreeInstitute.net/vibratingroller ➡️ Use coupon code KDKL8JQJ for 10% discount If you’re looking to improve your posture, a vibrating foam roller is a simple piece of equipment you can use to help you achieve a better posture. There are 3 things we need to look at when improving posture. (1) Stretching what’s tight (2) Improving mobility (3) Strengthening what’s weak In the case of bad posture, here’s a breakdown of what we’ll be working on. (1) Stretch tight chest muscles Because people are constantly in a flexed position with shoulders rolled forward, the chest muscles are shortened and over time they can become tight. To stretch the tight chest muscles, lie on a foam roller. First start the vibrating feature so that you start relaxing the middle back and getting blood flow to that area. After you lie on the vibrating foam roller, let your arms hang to your sides and let gravity pull them down. This will cause the chest to stretch. To make sure you stretch the chest completely, perform 30 snow angels while on the foam roller. (2) Improving Thoracic spine mobility With constant bad posture your thoracic spine will start losing its mobility especially thoracic extension. To improve this you have to do the opposite of hunching over. Turn the foam roller 90 degrees so that it’s perpendicular to your spine. Keep the vibrating feature on so that the muscles in the middle back continue to relax. Now bring both arms up in front of you and cross them to spread the shoulder blades apart. Then move your spine into extension as far back as you can and repeat 30 times. (3) Strengthen weak middle and upper back muscles Now you’re going to flip on your stomach to strengthen the middle back and upper back muscles to pull your shoulders back. This position will place you in extension. Now lift your arms in front of you as high as you can and hold that position for 5 seconds. Bring the arms to your sides forming a 90 angle with your elbows and bring the elbows back as far as you can focusing on squeezing the muscles in between the shoulder blades. Repeat 30 times. Do these at least 3 times a week and you’ll improve your posture. Don’t look into posture correctors or braces. They don’t focus on the real cause of the problem. They just offer a temporary solution while you wear the brace. ➡️ Check out the FitIndex vibrating foam roller PainFreeInstitute.net/vibratingroller ================================= Subscribe to my YouTube channel: youtube.com/user/drjoseguevara Become a fan on Facebook: facebook.com/AtlantaChiropractor Follow me on Twitter: twitter.com/drjoseguevara Follow me on Instagram: Instagram.com/drjoseguevara Visit my blog: PainFreeInstitute.net ================================= youtube.com/watch?v=4Fgijdd8Bjg #posture #badposture #foamroller How to Fix Bad Posture With a Foam Roller
