Explore the anatomy, biomechanics, and functional relationships of the thoracic cage and its role in human movement, breathing, posture, and performance.

This comprehensive workshop examines the rib cage, thoracic spine, sternum, diaphragm, and surrounding muscular and fascial structures, highlighting how these systems work together to support mobility, stability, and efficient movement.

Through detailed anatomical instruction and practical applications, participants will develop a deeper understanding of thoracic mechanics and their influence on the shoulder complex, spine, respiratory function, and overall physical performance.

Key Topics Include:

Functional anatomy of the thoracic cage

Biomechanics of the ribs and thoracic spine

Respiratory mechanics and diaphragm function

Thoracic mobility, stability, and posture

Muscular and fascial relationships

Applications for movement, rehabilitation, and performance

Designed for: Physical therapists, athletic trainers, strength and conditioning coaches, rehabilitation specialists, and movement professionals.
