The Spinal Twist is one of my favourite movement/stretches to share with people who have experienced cancer surgery and/or radiation in the chest, breast or axilla (armpit)! It is a complex way to lengthen through the front of the shoulder and chest, as well as promote rotation (turning) through the ribs and mid-spine. Listen to the video to learn what the "cherry on top" is for this exercise!

Please note that this stretch is NOT appropriate for early-stage surgery recovery and should be used with caution if you have been diagnosed with osteoporosis.

Happy stretching!
