## Caption

Rounded shoulders by 5pm usually trace back to one joint, your thoracic spine, losing its rotation and extension every hour you sit hunched over a screen.

For a lot of desk workers the chest shortens up and the mid-back muscles between the shoulder blades quietly stop pulling their weight. That’s the fold you feel by evening.

5 moves to reopen it:
1. Cat-Cow, 8 slow reps
2. Quadruped thoracic rotation, 6 reps each side
3. World’s Greatest Stretch, 5 reps each side
4. Prone T-raise, 10 slow reps
5. Standing backbend, hold 15-20 seconds

Save this for your next long desk day.

Wake up the muscles that sitting switched off, one joint at a time. Follow me, then comment “BASICS” and I’ll DM you my Mobility Basics program. No equipment, any level 👇
