- 03Lift the hips slightly and use the legs to make short rolls across the mid-to-upper thoracic region.
- 04Shift a little to either side to target the rhomboids while supporting the head and keeping the neck relaxed.
- 05Avoid rolling onto the neck or lower back, then lower the hips and reposition as needed.
