Side-Lying Thoracic Book Opener on Foam Roller (Left Side)

Flip to your right side with the left knee rested on the roller at hip height. Lock the knee down with the right hand, place the left hand on your forehead, and rotate the chest open toward the floor for 8 repetitions.

Key points

  • Keep the left knee pinned firmly against the foam roller throughout each rep
  • Aim to get the shoulder blade flat to the floor at maximum trunk rotation
  • Hold the end range for a brief second and take a full breath without holding tension

Common mistakes

Flaring the arm out independently without turning the ribcage and chest.
