Any time I see a surfer dealing with tightness after a comp or a big swell, these are our go-to drills from the Prime Program—especially when riders are feeling tight or sore through the thoracic spine.


These movements are some of my favorites—they focus on restoring mobility, improving rotation, and easing discomfort


1️⃣ Foam Roller Opener



2️⃣ Foam Roller Angles



3️⃣ Banded Thoracic Rotations



4️⃣ Banded Cat-Cows



5️⃣ Kneeling Thoracic Rotations

Each drill focuses on controlled motion—not chasing range. Perfect for recovery days, pre-ride prep, or whenever things feel a bit off. Click on the video link to see all the movements. We'll be bringing our full YouTube library online soon


Save it and Let’s get you moving better 🤙🏽
