Posture Stretch: Foam Roll Cat-Camel

---

Like the foam roll extensions, the foam roll upper back cat helps improve mid-back motion but also opens the chest and shoulders.

To perform:

Kneel on the floor with hips back towards your heels and forearms on a foam roll (as shown).

First, round your middle back up and breathe in. Then, as you breathe out, let your chest fall towards the floor in an arch shape.

You should `feel’ this in your mid-back especially when you let your back fall to the floor.

If you feel this in your lower back move your buttocks closer to your heels – this will limit the movement in your lower back and isolate the stretch to your middle back.

Repeat 8-12 times, 2-3 times per day

As with all exercises, if you should experience pain that increases during the exercise, stop and let your doctor know.
