A wall-based upper-body stretch pair targeting lats and thoracic spine – designed for anyone whose back feels tight from sitting or hunching forward.

The lat stretch lengthens the sides of your back while the thoracic extension opens up your mid-spine against the wall. Both use the wall as leverage, so you get a deeper stretch with less effort.

Thoracic extension work is linked to improved posture and reduced upper back pain – research suggests even brief daily stretching can meaningfully counteract the forward rounding that comes with desk work.
