Let’s talk about the middle of your spine!
Your mid back (thoracic spine) plays a bigger role in pain than many people realise.
When the thoracic spine becomes stiff or doesn’t move well, other areas of the body often have to compensate, particularly the neck and lower back.
Over time, this extra strain can contribute to discomfort, tightness, or ongoing pain.
At PPFC, we focus on assessing how the thoracic spine moves and functions as part of a full-body approach. Improving mobility and strength through the mid back can often reduce pressure on the neck and lower back, helping you move more comfortably and efficiently.
Sometimes the area that hurts isn’t actually the root of the problem: that’s why a thorough assessment matters and always better to get it checked out.
