Wall T-Spine

Why it matters for golf

Using the wall fixes the lower body so the mid back has to do the moving. That isolation opens thoracic extension and rotation, the raw material for a full shoulder turn. Golfers who gain thoracic range stop borrowing it from the lower back.

Coaching cues

• Let the wall keep the lower body honest.
• Move the mid back slow through its full range.
• Exhale into the deepest part of each rep.
• Pause at end range for a breath.

Common faults

• Moving from the lower back instead of the mid back.
• Drifting off the wall and cheating the position.
• Rushing the tempo.
