This channel is so underrated. I like the amount of detail he explains the excersises with.

Thanks Adam 😀

I get some sharp T-spine pain on my left side whenever I OHP and I found these videos. I scrolled through the comments of the first one to see if it would work and was skeptical when everyone said it helped immediately. I tried them anyway because the pain was so bad. All 3 of these stretches were instrumental in making me feel better. Thank you so much.

[@physiorehab]

Great stuff glad you found it helpful

Interested in your view on using paradoxical breathing with this and Part one? Pull in belly as breathe in to inflate chest more and the reverse of dropping the sternum and pushing out the front and back of the belly area on inhale. Also the PRI technique using exhale to pull in the obliques then holding this oblique tension as the next inhale inflates the chest. I’ve found both helpful in releasing stuck parts of the ribs and sternum in particular.

This was so helpful to me today. Thanks for creating and posting!

[@physiorehab]

You’re welcome 😄

I use the foam roller for exercise 1 and a pillow under head and bottom to take away the aggressiveness of curve of roller but still benefit from firmness of roller. I can do exercise 2 with shorter foam roller , this time same height pillows under head and bottom while roller along spine

Do you have any specific routines to get rid of costochondritis?

[@ashrafulnawaj8202]

Love you man💚

Interesting stuff. I'm working a lot on thoracic work just now to improve things. These foam rollers are they really any use for long term changes? From what i've heard you go on a roller and adjust things but after a while everything just reverts back to where it was and then you need to do it again and again because it doesn't promote long lasting change. That's why i've never bought one. If i could see it as money well spent i'd get one but i am unconvinced. You see people just rolling about on them kidding themselves on.

[@physiorehab]

You also need to work on spinal strength to help with the tightness issue

[@likolagi]

I love that towel thing! Thanks! How long or how many times a day can I do that?

[@physiorehab]

Probably only 1-2 x a day

[@doctorflint2224]

Thanks for the videos. I have a question on the last exercise: I have to go in that position and trying to touch the ground with my chest let's say, but what about the position of the head? Do I have to pull down with my head too, keeping my head neutral or tuck in my chin? Thanks

[@physiorehab]

Head neutral mostly

I am feeling pressure around shoulder when i do 3rd exercise 9:55 ; do i am doing right? @ Physio Fitness | Physio REHAB | Tim Keeley

[@annap1191]

What do you do if you have a flat thoracic?

[@physiorehab]

Try rotation more than anything

[@postwooh]

Im confused. In your previous video ( 10 mins thoracic mobility on the roller) video you told us to go into posterior pelvic, engage abs and retract the chin...

[@physiorehab]

2 different exercises there...

[@MrCarstennielsen]

Can it not be a problem to strech the facetjoints too much, if the cause of pain is due to the facetjoints has been overstreched and so possible been lenghtend in the tendons and ligament holdeing the facetjoint together? In this case strengthening around the problematic area may be better solution than streching?! And strengthen on the frontside of body may even... correct and aligne and hold the facetjoint better together when both front of body and backmuscle help to keep the facetjoints in place and correctloy distributing weight and power?

[@physiorehab]

Well - we aren’t stretching them too much here 😀

[@MrCarstennielsen]

@@physiorehab But is it not a problem if the tendons need to reestablish pervious length of tendons etc. that these are being streched at all?

[@physiorehab]

@@MrCarstennielsen I think you maybe overthinking this one

[@MrCarstennielsen]

@@physiorehab If you ever had a sliding facetjoint causing pain , and know what pain and paralysation that can cause, and do cause whenever streched even sligthly and then allso try to rehab vs. just manage pain, then it seems logic not to do anything working against getting these tendons tighter so to keep joint in focus at all times but allso not to directly make the problem bigger. I think it is what is sometimes described with hamstrings, where streching these often is advised streching at all, as this will increase the problem and not even help the problem even a bit.
