Twist and turn.

The thoracic spine is the area below your neck, above your lower back. Simple right?

The thoracic spine is a problematic area for so many, are we sitting more? Are we spending too much time hunched over screens? Or are we just not moving it ‘correctly’?

Love your stretches

Stretching can help to improve flexibility and range of motion of the muscles and joints. Better flexibility may result in performance improvements and reduce injury.

Many lifestyle factors affect our muscle length including posture, prolonged sitting and weight training.
