The thoracic spine and ribs play a key role in posture, breathing and upper body movement. Dysfunction in this area can lead to pain between the shoulder blades, rib stiffness, shallow breathing, or discomfort with certain movements like twisting, lifting or even sitting for long periods.
This type of dysfunction may stem from poor posture, repetitive strain, pregnancy-related changes, or a history of injury. It can also contribute to other issues such as neck tension, headaches, or pelvic floor dysfunction.
At Flow Motion, we take a whole-body approach to thoracic and rib dysfunction. We assess how your spine, ribs, diaphragm and pelvic floor are working together, and identify any areas of restriction, overuse or imbalance.
We then design a personalised treatment plan to restore mobility, reduce discomfort and improve breathing and movement efficiency.
Treatment May Include:
Manual therapy for thoracic and rib mobility
Postural alignment and breathing support
Core and trunk stability retraining
Diaphragm and ribcage movement strategies
Gentle stretches and mobility techniques
Pelvic floor and upper body integration
You don’t have to put up with persistent stiffness or discomfort. We’re here to help you breathe easier, move better, and feel more balanced in your body.
