A two-minute rotation-and-extension sequence for the mid-back and spine, ideal for anyone stuck hunched at a desk most of the day.
You'll rotate the upper back one side at a time, then open the chest and move the spine through its full range. It's slow, quiet work — but the mid-back loosens and sitting tall stops feeling like effort.
Desk sitting stiffens the thoracic spine, which drags the head and shoulders forward. Research on office workers ties regular thoracic mobility work to more upright posture and less neck tension.
