In the first video "Moving from the Thoracic Spine Part One" we showed you a visual example of the human spine and why we must rotate from the thoracic joints. We discussed how the lumbar facet joints are not designed to tolerate a lot of rotation. In short, we need lots of mobility from the hips and thoracic spine to move with strength, power, grace and safety. 
 
In Part Two we are sharing with you a very powerful thoracic spine stretch/mobilization exercise called the "BRETZEL." This  is a stretch we learned from Master RKC Brett Jones and FMS Creator Gray Cook. The reason this stretch is so powerful is because done properly it re-educates your spine to move from the thoracic joints. 

Who could potentially benefit from this stretch:

* People who sit at a desk for a living
* People with shoulder problems
* People who have had lumbar/low back problems
* People with poor posture
* All Athletes that put things overhead
As with all corrective exercises, the most important thing is that you are very detailed and accurate in your application of the Bretzel. Most people are very stiff in the thoracic joints and learning to move again from this area must be seen as a process. Be conservative in the beginning and gradually begin to add more of this stretch into your daily training regimen.  We recommend that you find a local trainer or therapist who can perform a Functional Movement Screen on you and assess your shoulder mobility. That way you will have an objective measurement on your current shoulder mobility and if the BRETZEL stretch is helping you.

Gray Cook wrote an excellent article on the Bretzel for Dragon Door. It can found here: BRETZEL ARTICLE
