Twist and turn.

April 22, 2018

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.

Because stretching effects your joints and connective tissue, as well as the muscle, caution needs to be taken when starting a stretching program. Consider chronic conditions or injuries which may prevent pain-free stretching (and may actually be causing more harm).

Give us a call on 02 8544 84 84 if you have further questions, or contact your medical practitioner for advice.

How it works

As wikipedia suggests, stretching is a form of physical exercise in which a specific muscle or tendon (or muscle group) is deliberately stretched in order to improve the muscle’s felt elasticity. The result is a feeling of increased muscle control, flexibility, and range of motion. Notably, the slower a stretch the more pliable the muscle becomes.
