As a personal trainer, I’ll often hear clients mention that chronic back pain limits their activity. Unfortunately, it’s a common problem for anyone that spends their work days tied to a desk.
"Stiffness in the mid-back—thoracic spine—often comes from prolonged sitting, poor posture, and repetitive habits that restrict movement," says yoga teacher Esther da Costa in the introduction to her six-move mid-back mobility routine. "Improving mid-back mobility enhances range of motion, supports better posture, and reduces strain on the lower back and shoulders."
