![]() R hip flexor tightness increased tension in the fascia of this area can lead to decreased rotation to the L It helps to attach, stabilize, enclose and separates muscles and internal organsįascia restrictions around the hip flexors can cause decreased ROM within the thoracic spine. It’s one continuous structure that connects you from head to toe Like a sweater that covers your entire body Gapping on the right compression on the left Lumbar facets are at 90° and lie in the sagittal planeĭue to this orientation you have very little rotation that occurs in the lumbar spineĭownglide on the right upglide on the left Lower thoracic segments will follow movements closer to the lumbar spine Upper thoracic segments will follow movement closer to mid cervical spine If there was no slight side bending or rotation opposite the ribs would over crowd and your shoulder would dip down Your body produces these coupled motions in the thoracic spine to help maintain your shoulder and head level Slight side bending to the left produces gapping on the right Gapping on the R and compression on the left Side bending produces relative rotation to the opposite side due the the crowding of the ribs Upglide on the left downglide on the right Thoracic facets are on ~60° angle and lie in the frontal plane Side bending and rotation are the same in the cervical spine Helps us to determine where too much or too little motion is occurringĬervical facets are on ~45° angle and lie in the frontal plane Most clinicians call them the facet joints Official name is zygoapophyseal joints (Z Joints) Joints are the main stabilizers or motion segments of the spine Spine alternates between a bone and a discīones are names by location in the spine:ĭisc are named relative to the bones that it sits between ![]() Most of the vertebra live more anterior (in front) in the body of the vertebra. If you touch your back you feel the spinous process of the vertebra which is the very tip of the bone Kyphotic (backwards)- Thoracic and Sacrum ![]() Spinal curves alternate between more motion and less motion Spine is made up of disc spine and joints Did you know that 80-90% of population has spine related problems?
