Q & A for The 16%… A Simple Exercise for Upper Back Posture (Dorsal-Rostral Expansion)

January 20, 2020 By Bill Leave a Comment

Question: What is the best strategy for one to achieve dorsal rostral expansion without creating and excessive thoracic kyphosis or spinal bending?

In this video:

A simple exercise that allows you to feel the focused dorsal-rostral expansion that helps improve posture and shoulder range of motion.

In many cases, the inability to achieve the desired position to expand the dorsal-rostral thorax is a matter of feeling the appropriate position as you breathe in.

Use this activity to acquire the sensation and then carry it over to any number of other activities.

If you’re seen the remarkable changes that Terry has made as part of The Terry Project on Instagram, you’ll see why I utilize this activity frequently in practice.
