The most undertreated thing in athletic performance isn't strength. It isn't mobility. It isn't even recovery.
It's thoracic spine extension and rotation.
Your thoracic spine is the foundation of every overhead movement, every rotational sport, every combat sport pattern. When it's restricted — and most adults over 25 are restricted — everything compensates.
Your neck takes extra load. Your shoulders overwork. Your lower back picks up the slack.
We address thoracic mobility in almost every athlete we see. Not because it's a trend. Because the data — and years of seeing what's actually restricted — points directly at it.
