THE THORACIC SPINE IN MOTION – with Tanya Thompson; via zoom meeting

Course content

Our Vitality can be gauged by our ability to move freely and effortlessly. As we age, we require our Thoracic Spine to maintain our Torso posture and it has to enable us to move efficiently for our functional movements. Looking at the ageing effects on the spine, we need the ability to maintain a neutral thoracic spine for as long as we possibly can. But the current state of the ‘Thoracic Spine’ is affecting people of all ages and this needs to be addressed immediately if we are to change the way the youth and the adults age.
