Sore, stiff, or tight muscles? Foam-rolling might be worth adding to your regular wellness routine. A foam roller helps circulation, smooths out connective tissue, releases toxins, and helps to hydrate and regenerate tissue. By smoothing out muscles and joints, blood flow and circulation are enhanced. It can calm your nervous system, helping prompt relaxation, digestion, sleep, and rejuvenation.

Foam rolling the upper back enhances thoracic mobility. Better mobility in the thoracic spine (which is normally a bit stiff with less mobility) impacts other areas of the body such as the cervical spine, the lumbar spine and SI joint, and the shoulders. This part of the spine commonly lacks adequate extension and rotation.

Regular use can help with posture and alignment as well as core strength. 

Next time your upper back is talking to you, you might have just the answer. Look out, you're on a roll!
