Aug 19, 2020
54:03
Whitney and Til discuss a very common (but poorly researched) complaint: upper thoracic spine pain, and what to do about it.
In this episode,
- Does posture drive upper back pain? Does psychology?
- Breaking the Upper-Cross-Syndrome rules (and what “PhD” doesn’t really stand for).
- The Over-the-Edge technique for upper back pain.
