Thoracic mobility only feel low back

When I do the thoracic mobility stretch, I only feel it in my lower back. I engage my glutes to keep my lower back straight, but never feel anything further up the spine. Suggestions?

A good ways to scale it down and make it easier are:

-pre-stretch your quads before the exercise

-straddle the legs as much as you can

-put the heels on elevated surface

Your situation means very tight hips flexor and , reduced spine extension and tight lower ribs.

Ok. Thanks for the tips, Alessandro. I'll give it a shot :)
