Default Soft tissue work

What are some exercises I can do to work on the soft tissue in my back? Bill suggested it one time to me. Also what are dynamic mobilty drills?

To work on the soft tissue in your middle and upper back, foam rolling or tennis ball rolling works great. (what follows is a video of Mike Boyle using the two tennis balls taped together method)



Dynamic mobility drills are designed to improve joint movement and muscle length but are done with movement instead of prolonged holding of a position (aka static stretching).

I <3 the two-tennis-ball thingy. I made one with athletic tape. So good.

For dynamic mobility stuff, I have heard great things about Magnificent Mobility by Mike Robertson. I don't have it, but I have his Bulletproof Knees and Building the Efficient Athlete. Both are great.

For myself, I get all my mobility work from Scott Sonnon's Intu-Flow.

Cheers,
Adam
