Range of motion exercises to improve thoracic mobility

To enhance thoracic mobility in predominantly desk-bound individuals, focusing on exercises that increase range of motion is crucial. Implementing exercises like push-ups in a hollow back position, cable presses, and landmine presses can benefit by promoting scapular upward rotation and stimulating the convex-concave relationship between the scapula and rib cage. Push-ups can be modified for greater scapular movement, cable presses offer unilateral engagement with arm reach variations, and landmine presses enable freer scapular motion and controlled axial loading.
