Video Course: Releasing Restrictions in the Thoracic Spine with Precision NMT

Douglas Nelson

While much of the attention with regard to back pain is focused on the lumbar spine, thoracic restrictions are common and often overlooked. Restrictions in the musculature of the thoracic spine may present as local pain, but they are just as likely to be an overlooked cause of lumbar or cervical discomfort. Many of the problems in the thoracic spine are readily affected by targeted soft-tissue approaches.
