Thoracic Rotation With Arm Emphasis

Description

Lie on your side with hips and knees flexed at 90 degrees or more. Rotate your trunk so that your face and arms are turned towards the ceiling. Keep your elbows extended, push with the arm opposite the rotation and pull with the arm on the same side (to create additional trunk rotation). Depending on the instructions given by your physical therapist, either hold the position for a given amount of time, or return to the starting position and repeat the exercise a certain number of times. Feel free to place a pillow under your head for added comfort.
