Stiff Mid Back Self Test and Fix. Caveman Edition.

If you feel stiff through your mid back and rotation feels limited — here's a quick self test to actually measure it and a mobility drill to change it in one minute.

The Self Test:

Sit on a bench or chair. Place a foam roller between your knees and squeeze it — this locks out your hips so you can only rotate through your thoracic spine. Cross your arms over your chest. Slowly rotate to one side then the other.

If you can't reach 50 degrees of rotation in each direction — you have meaningful thoracic mobility restriction. That restriction is likely showing up somewhere else in your body too. Neck pain. Shoulder problems. Low back stiffness. Even hip issues. The mid back is the mobility hub of the entire spine — when it doesn't move well, other areas pick up the slack.

The Fix:

Half kneeling wall rotation. Get into a half kneeling position next to a wall — the wall on your side. Place your hands together in front of you. Slowly rotate through your thoracic spine into the wall. Reach with your arms as your torso opens up. Return to center. Repeat.

10 reps each side. 2-3 sets.

The Retest:

Return to the seated position with the foam roller between your knees. Cross your arms. Rotate again.

You should have noticeably more range on both sides.

That's the mid back opening up in real time.

This drill takes 2 minutes and can be done daily. Do it every morning and you'll be shocked at how much your mid back changes over 2-3 weeks.

Save this. Share it with someone who's been chasing neck, shoulder, or low back pain without checking their mid back first.

Stiff Back Shoulder. Caveman Edition.

If you have stiffness in the back of your shoulder and pain with internal rotation — you likely have some restriction in the posterior capsule and the soft tissue around the back of the rotator cuff.

Here's the modified sleeper stretch we use to open it up:

Lie on your side with the affected shoulder underneath you. Take your top hand and reach across to cup underneath your bottom elbow — right where the tricep attaches.

Gently pull the elbow up toward the ceiling to elevate it. Then use that same top hand to crank the shoulder down into internal rotation.

You should feel a stretch in the back of the shoulder. If you feel a sharp pinch in the front of the shoulder — back off. Reduce the elevation. Reduce the internal rotation. Find the position that stretches the back without pinching the front.

Hold there. Breathe.

2-3 sets of 1-2 minutes.. Do this daily for about a week.

Once you've gained some range and the back of the shoulder feels noticeably more open — it's time to graduate to the harder move.

That one is coming in the next video. Lengthening AND strengthening in the same move. Because range without strength is unstable and strength without range is limited.
Follow so you don't miss it.

Nerve Gliding vs Nerve Tensioning. Caveman Edition.

If you have nerve pain in your arm and someone told you to hold a nerve stretch — please stop.

Nerve tensioning — holding a maximally lengthened position on a sensitized nerve — can actually reduce blood supply to the nerve itself. Nerves have their own tiny blood supply called the vasa nervorum. When you hold sustained tension on an already irritated nerve, you reduce that blood flow, increase inflammation, and make the problem worse.

Nerve gliding — also called nerve flossing — is different. Instead of holding a stretched position, you rhythmically move the nerve back and forth through its range. One end lengthens as the other shortens. The nerve slides through its surrounding tissues without ever being maximally tensioned.

Think of it like flossing your teeth. Back and forth. Never held. Just moving.
For the median nerve — the one commonly involved in arm pain, tingling into the thumb and index finger, and carpal tunnel type symptoms — the glide looks like this:

Extend your arm out to the side. As your arm extends and your wrist bends back — tilt your head TOWARD the same side. Then as you bend your arm and let your wrist relax — tilt your head AWAY from the arm.

One end lengthens as the other shortens. Rhythmic. Smooth. Never held.
10 to 15 slow reps. 2 to 3 times per day.

This is one of the most effective ways to reduce nerve sensitivity without making things worse.

Save this. Share it with someone who's been holding nerve stretches wondering why they're not getting better.

If you have constant neck pain — or pain radiating into your shoulder, arm, or hand — and Advil isn't touching it, try this.

It's called the kneeling prop. A palliative position that completely offloads the muscles around your neck and gives the irritated tissue time to calm down.

Here's the quick principle: when your neck has been flared up and irritated for hours or days, the muscles around it are working overtime trying to protect the area. That constant guarding keeps the cycle of pain going. What the neck needs in that state isn't more stretching or more movement — it needs OFF. Complete offloading. Zero work.

That's what this position delivers.

How to set it up — floor version (most effective):

Get on all fours on a mat or carpeted floor.
Drop your elbows down to the floor in front of you.
Spread your hands and rest your face directly into them — forehead and cheeks supported by your palms and fingers. Let the entire weight of your head sink into your hands.
Now relax everything. Your hands are doing 100% of the work supporting your head. Your neck muscles do nothing. Let your shoulders drop. Let your jaw relax. Breathe deeply.

Hold for 2-3 minutes at a time.
The desk version — convenient backup:
If you can't get on the floor or you're at work, do the same thing at your desk. Elbows on the desk. Hands spread, supporting your face. Head completely relaxed into your hands. Same principle, less effective at fully offloading, but still works.

The floor version is better because gravity helps the spine settle and traction the neck. The desk version is the backup when life doesn't let you lie down.

How often:
2-3 minutes at a time. As often as needed throughout the day. Especially after long periods of sitting at a screen, before bed, or anytime the neck pain ramps back up. Frequent short doses keep the cycle from spiraling.

Full deep dive on why this position works and why it's so effective for desperate cases drops in the next reel.

Save and follow for part 2.

Stretching may give you short-term relief.

But lasting results come from building strength, developing power, and learning how to move well.

That's exactly why I created my free guide—the resource I wish I'd had years ago. Link in bio

If you tried the chin tuck test from my last video and your shoulder pain got better — here's the mechanism behind why.

Our current understanding is this:

When you retract your chin and move your neck back in space — you're closing down the foramen in the mid and lower cervical spine. Those foramen are the small openings between your vertebrae where the nerves that supply your arm exit the spine.

By repetitively performing this movement — you're using your spine as a mechanical pump. Improving motion in that area. Bringing new blood flow to the nerves and the surrounding tissues.

That's the key.

When the nerves and tissue around them become happier and healthier and less irritated — the shoulder and every muscle that those nerves supply gets to be a little bit happier too. That's why your shoulder motion improves after 30 chin tucks.

Is this a long term fix? Probably not on its own.

But it's a great entry point. It tells us where the problem is likely originating. It gives us information about where treatment should start. And it gives us a foundation to progress from.

Because knowing where to start is half the battle when you've been chasing pain for months without answers.

If chin tucks made your shoulder feel better — save this. And when you're ready to figure out what a real progression looks like, we're here.

Shoulder Pain Might Not Actually Be a Shoulder Problem. Caveman Edition.

If you have pain in your shoulder when you lift your arm — and every shoulder mobility drill and rotator cuff exercise has done nothing — the problem might not actually be in your shoulder.

It might be coming from your neck.

Here's a quick self test.

Do a lateral raise with the painful arm. Note where it hurts and how bad it is on a scale of 1 to 10.

Now perform 30 slow chin tucks. Tuck your chin straight back — not down. Elongate through the spine. Pause for one count at the end range. Release. Repeat.

After 30 reps — retest the lateral raise.

If your shoulder feels significantly different — better OR worse — the neck is likely involved. You have information you didn't have 60 seconds ago.

If nothing changes — the neck likely isn't the primary driver and something else needs to be assessed.

Full breakdown of how this works and another self test you can try at home in my next video.
Save this. Share it with someone who's been chasing shoulder pain for months.

The cracks aren't the treatment. They're just a part of it.

That said... they're still pretty satisfying to watch. 😅
