Thoracic Spine Self Mobilization
T NATION | Quantifying the Farmer's Walk:
A more naturally extended thoracic spine is a "taller" spine that allows for a better "table" for the head and neck to function on, and better scapular positioning in retraction. This, in turn, helps the scapular stabilizers do their job more effectively, decreasing the chance of assuming a rounded shoulder position...
Improve cervical mobility while self-mobilizing the thoracic spine.

Hips Don't Lie: Fixing Your Anterior Or Posterior Pelvic Tilt
T NATION | Hips Don't Lie: Fixing Your Force Couples:
"So I'm sure you're wondering at this point, 'Damn, I'm in (anterior or posterior) pelvic tilt. How in the hell do I correct this?' Let's keep it real simple here. If you're in anterior tilt you want to:
• Strengthen the muscles that produce posterior tilt
• Lengthen the muscles that produce anterior tilt
On the flip side, if you're in posterior tilt you want to:
• Strengthen the muscles that produce anterior tilt
• Lengthen the muscles that produce posterior tilt
To keep it even simpler, depending on your pelvic position, you want to train your body to do the opposite!"
