If you use a foam roller to correct a rounded or "hunched" upper back, I've got a much better idea than just cranking your back and neck over the roller.
The vertebrae and facets are oriented differently in each part of your spine. What that means is each area of your spine moves differently.
Your lower back is primarily designed to flex and extend- within reason- meaning that it bends forward and backward.
However, in the upper back, the vertebrae and facets are oriented more like shingles on a roof. In essence, the primary functions of your upper back, particularly your thoracic spine, are to side bend and rotate.
See how this works in this video.
