Pain or stiffness in the thoracic spine (upper and mid-back) can make everyday activities uncomfortable, from sitting at your desk and driving to exercising or taking a deep breath.
Whether your symptoms have developed gradually through poor posture or are the result of an injury, our experienced physiotherapists provide a personalised treatment plan designed to relieve pain, restore movement and help you return to the activities you enjoy.
At Physical Health Physiotherapy, we combine hands-on treatment with targeted rehabilitation, ensuring you not only recover from your current symptoms but reduce the risk of them returning.
