The thoracic spine is marvelously designed to perform many diverse and complex functions including breathing, reaching, lifting, and walking. Pain arises when tissues within the thoracic spine are subject to stresses beyond their tolerance. This is commonly the result of inefficiency in functional performance. Dysfunction of the thoracic spine has received far less attention from researchers than the neck and lower back. This has left many suffering from thoracic pain with limited solutions. Fortunately, significant gains have been made in recent years with understanding the biomechanics of the thorax. We at Moye Physical Therapy have remained current with the latest research and are pleased with the resulting outcomes. If you are suffering from thoracic pain, allow Moye Physical Therapy to help!
