This one bodyweight exercise can improve back pain and shoulder mobility

Woman stretching

Here at T3 we’ve been focusing a lot on mobility exercises — from a 30-second hip opener exercise to the world's greatest stretch (according to an expert). After all, the more mobile we are, the better our body will function. But while we’ve focused a lot on the lower back, we decided  it’s time to give our upper back some much-needed attention, along with the shoulders and, luckily, an expert has shared one exercise that can improve movement in both of these areas.

Mobility training can often get confused with ‘stretching’, but they aren’t the same thing. The International Sports Sciences Association says mobility training ”helps you move better and improves your range of motion”. The less mobile we are, the more we'll find our bodies tightening up and getting stiff, which can cause discomfort may eventually lead to pain.
