Yoga exercises for the thoracic spine:

The thoracic spine is the center of upper body movement and needs to have a good range of motion. With improper training or lack of training, it often becomes stiff and needs to have increased mobility. If the thoracic spine does not have good flexibility, the lumbar spine and cervical spine will compensate by increasing their range of motion during exercise, leading to chronic injuries. Therefore, good flexibility of the thoracic spine can greatly reduce the probability of low back pain, neck pain and shoulder pain.
