Strengthening the Thoracic Spine and Scapular Regions

In this author’s last several posts, Vladimir Janda’s upper crossed syndrome (UCS) was explored, in addition to its relationship with the chronic musculoskeletal pain cycle (CMPC) (Page, Lardner, & Frank, 2010). Furthermore, stability and mobility restrictions, two central constituents of UCS, were covered as it related to the thoracic and scapular regions. Finally, methods were presented to reset and reinforce the mobility and stability restrictions within the thoracic spine and scapula, through self-myofascial release (SMR) techniques and corrective exercises. In the following sections, this author will build upon all principles and methods discussed thus far, reloading the thoracic spine and scapular regions, as a means of increasing one’s performance and resilience to re-injury.
