You may never actually get into extension with the mobilization but you will be extending them from the flexed position they are stuck in.

You want to be able to push your vertebrae that are in the rounded, flexed position back into extension. That is where the self adjustment comes in here. Unfortunately, it is quite common that we start to round our shoulders and assume a slumped posture that limits our ability to keep the proper posture when we need it the most. In order to properly elevate our arms overhead without compensation or maintain a proper posture we have to make sure that we maximize the full available extension through the thoracic spine. When we perform weightlifting, the demands of thoracic extension are high. Finally, the lumbar spine has 5 vertebrae that ultimately meet with the sacrum at the level of the pelvis. This will be key when it comes to performing this adjustment properly. Keep in mind however, the curve in this area is not all convex. The thoracic spine consists of 12 vertebrae and runs down to about the navel. The cervical spine consists of 7 vertebrae and runs to about the level of your shoulders. The spine is divided into three different zones the cervical, thoracic and lumbar areas. It start with understanding how the spine is set up. This self mobilization will make sure you do every single time. The squat, front squat, row, overhead press and deadlift are just a few of the exercises that require that you have adequate thoracic extension to perform them properly.
