Mid-Back Pain (Thoracic Pain)
Understanding Thoracic Pain
Thoracic pain, or pain in the mid-back region, is a common condition that affects a significant portion of the population, particularly office workers. Prolonged sitting, poor posture, and repetitive movements often associated with desk jobs can lead to discomfort, reduced productivity, and postural spinal pain. Studies suggest that up to 40% of desk-based workers will experience thoracic pain at some point in their careers.
Symptoms, Treatments and Approach
Patients often report pain that manifests as:
Aching or stiffness between the shoulder blades.
Sharp pain during movement, such as twisting or reaching.
Reduced mobility or difficulty maintaining proper posture.
Referred pain to the chest or arms due to nerve involvement.
Our expert physiotherapists recognise that thoracic pain is not a one-size-fits-all condition. We tailor our treatments to your unique needs, considering your work habits, posture, and physical condition.
Comprehensive Thoracic Spine Assessments
To provide targeted and effective relief, we begin with a comprehensive assessment designed to identify the root causes of your pain. Our assessments may include the following:
Postural and Ergonomic analysis
Muscle strength testing
Spinal and core stability assessment
Gait and movement analysis
Neurological examination
These assessments provide a detailed understanding of your condition, enabling our physiotherapists to deliver precise, targeted interventions.
