Working on thoracic spine mobility has GOT to be it's own sport. I've never put my body in so many odd positions as I work to break free my VERY tight t-spine! Thankfully I am working with someone very qualified and experienced - and the list of things I do before a workout has got to LOOK painful (perhaps more so than reality)!
I am actually excited about all of this "fun" t-spine work and having fun with it even though it isn't "fun". We finally figured out that this is what limits my shoulders and some other things, and also is the likely culprit with a few other problems. This isn't a new discovery, it just wasn't responding to easier methods. I am very thankful to have access to experts in this area and all of this work should really enhance my riding next year - especially gravel riding.
