Скачать или смотреть How to Improve Your Mid-Back Posture (Thoracic Kyphosis Exercises)

Today's video discusses mid-back posture (thoracic kyphosis) and covers exercises that will help improve your posture, reduce pain and improve mobility. The thoracic spine is made up of twelve vertebrae (T1-T12) and naturally assumes a slightly rounded or kyphotic curve. Because the thoracic spine also has connections to the ribs, it is naturally more stable and less mobile than either the lumbar or cervical spinal regions.

If you are noticing poor posture in your mid-back or are experiencing pain or stiffness in the spine or shoulders, give the exercises shown here a try and let me know if you have any questions. As always, if your symptoms are not improving or worsening, be sure to schedule an evaluation with your local physical therapist.
