Your thorax is the space in your chest from your diaphragm up π¬
It's an area that contains your heart and lungs π« and is protected by your ribs and spine π
It's an area I almost always assess because its links your neck and shoulders to your low back and hips
Its an area that gets prone to stiffness due to
βοΈ Coughs and colds
π£ stress breathing (short breaths from your neck)
πͺ Loading from anterior shoulders (from desk work or shoulder pain)
And when it's tight and stiff it impacts low back pain π©
Getting it supple and moving will help but its not an easy place you can get to yourself
Get assessed to see if this area is contributing to your pain and stiffness β
οΈ
Breathe easier, stand taller, feel better π¬
