How to do it
- Lie the roller across your upper back, knees bent, hands supporting the head. A tightly rolled towel works too.
- Lift the hips slightly and let the upper back drape backwards over the roller.
- Extend two or three times, then move the roller an inch up or down and repeat.
- Keep the ribs from flaring and stay above the bottom of the ribcage — the lower back is not the target.
