Not sure if this is the best place to start this discussion but…Recently I read an article on thoracic spine mobility on Mark’s Daily Apple http://www.marksdailyapple.com/...acic-spine-mobility/. Most of the solutions he discusses are things I have picked up from chiropractors and massage therapists over the years. However I was impressed by the number of replies from a variety of people. I realize nearly everyone has some form of sort of tension/stress along their spine(especially after sitting in aero or in front of a computer) but these replies were discussing intense pain yet I didnt see many new options except someone who mentioned the radroller?
As someone who “deals” with this kind of discomfort/pain and who tried Mark’s suggestions I realized I was looking at the wrong forum and have decided to be brave and see if the slowtwitch community could help.
Basically I’m wondering what you all do? I have a solid bike fit but even when I don’t ride I still tend to find tightness throughout that area. Massage helps, chiropractic work helps, diet, stretching and all that helps but I want something that provides consistent(and if possible, inexpensive) solution. If anyone has used a radroller? It looks like it would do better than my foam roller, trigger point therapy, etc etc.
I hope this starts a good discussion and the slow-twitch community lives up to its reputation as being the best informed and gear savvy forum on the web.
