Did you know that the thoracic spine, the section that runs through your mid and upper back, is directly connected to the rib cage and plays a key role in how freely you can breathe? When mobility in this region is reduced, it can limit the full expansion of the chest and increase the workload on the muscles involved in breathing. Thoracic adjustments often produce an immediate and noticeable change in how deeply and easily a person can breathe.
