Thoracic Spine Mobility Workshop

It is common to develop stiffness in your thoracic spine, especially in todays society. Many people spend a majority of their day sitting in a slouched position such as with desk jobs, traveling, or spending a little too much time on the gram. Some people may develop increased thoracic kyphosis, or excessive rounding of the upper to mid-back. Scoliosis is another underlying condition which may contribute to restrictions in this area. Restrictions throughout the thoracic spine can eventually lead to issues elsewhere in the spine or extremities. Lack of flexion, extension, and/or rotation will ultimately lead to compensatory movement patterns which may lead to pain or dysfunction.
