Chest Stretch Y Variation

If your upper body feels tight or rounded forward, this simple foam roller stretch can help restore mobility and encourage better posture—especially for those who sit often or work at a computer.

How to Do It:

  1. Lie down on a foam roller placed lengthwise along your spine, supporting your head and tailbone.
  2. Reach your arms overhead into a “Y” shape with palms facing up.
  3. Relax into the stretch and allow your chest and shoulders to gently open.
  4. Breathe deeply—in through your nose and out through your mouth—and hold the stretch for 1 minute.

This restorative position supports spinal alignment while passively improving shoulder and chest flexibility.
