Thread The Needle

In this video, you will learn how to do the thread the needle exercise for thoracic rotation by Dr. Brian Damhoff.

To Perform It:
1. Start on all fours with your knees underneath your hips
2. Take your hand with the palm up and thread it underneath the opposite shoulder
3. As the hand stretches across, you will drop the shoulder on the same side to allow for maximal rotation of the thoracic spine
4. Stretch as far as what is comfortable for you

The thread the needle exercise is simple but effective for thoracic rotation.
