Bad posture and pain limit not only everyday life but will also make training jiu-jitsu difficult. Corrective exercises as well as mobility techniques are extremely important to prevent injury, improve function, and ultimately allow you to train harder and more frequently with less likelihood to get injured.

It is much easier to prevent an injury than it is recover from one.

This video has 3 techniques that are effective and very important to address your impairments and limitations and ultimately help prevent injury. Only perform these exercises to comfort.

1. Thoracic extension over a foam roller. 1-2 minutes

2. Archer exercise. 10 repetitions.

3. Standing trunk bends with arm reach. 10 repetitions.
