Back (Thoracic) Mobility

The Importance of Thoracic Mobility

Thoracic mobility is the ability of the upper back to move properly. It's important because it allows for good posture, stability for the shoulders, and efficient breathing. However, our sedentary lifestyle can limit this mobility. This can cause problems like neck and shoulder pain, reduced lung capacity, and even injury. To stay healthy, it's crucial to focus on exercises and stretches that improve thoracic mobility. This will help maintain a good range of motion and support overall musculoskeletal well-being.

Why?

• Improved mobility and flexibility.

• Reduced back pain and better posture.

• Enhanced athletic performance and reduced injury risk.

• Improved breathing mechanics.

• Rehabilitation after spinal injuries or surgeries.

• Easier performance of daily activities.

• Enhanced core stability.
