When I sustained injuries during my time in the service, I realized elements were missing from my treatment. Progress was slow, and I knew there had to be a better way.
Many of my therapists isolated the evaluation and treatment to focus solely on the areas of pain.
We now know that acknowledging the biomechanical and functional role of the thoracic spine in neck, shoulder/back and hip dysfunction, leads to more insightful evaluations and better treatment options.
This concept of regional interdependence is the underutilized link to better outcomes. Thoracic spine contributions significantly impact the upper and lower extremity along with the upper and lower spine. We’ll explore a step-by-step process to integrate:
Global assessments that identify biomechanical deficits faster
Multimodal techniques to improve mobility, biomechanics, flexibility, and posture
Therapeutic exercise to decrease pain, stiffness, tightness
New ways to enhance manual therapy with kinesiology tape, mobilizations, postural restoration, soft tissue mobilization, myofascial release and more!
Go beyond traditional! Integrate the regional interdependence model today to improve mobility and functional stability of the thoracic spine and enhance your clinic outcomes!
胸椎在頸部、肩部/背部和髖部功能障礙中的生物力學和功能作用，可以帶來更深入的評估和更好的治療選擇。
這種區域相互依存的概念是未充分利用的與更好結果的聯繫。胸椎貢獻顯著影響上肢和下肢以及上肢和下肢脊柱。我們將探索一個循序漸進的過程來整合：
更快識別生物力學缺陷的全球評估
改善機動性、生物力學、靈活性和姿勢的多模式技術
減輕疼痛、僵硬、緊繃感的治療性運動
使用運動機能學膠帶、動員、姿勢恢復、軟組織動員、肌筋膜釋放等增強手法治療的新方法！
