💥 Thoracic Screw Technique for Mid-Back Relief

Stiff, tight mid-back? This is one of the manual techniques our clinicians use to help:

✅ Improve thoracic mobility
✅ Reduce mid-back tension

💥 7 Habits Your Physical Therapist Wants You to Leave in 2025 💥

You know the ones…
• Ignoring pain and hoping it magically disappears
• Sitting for hours without moving
• Skipping your exercises (we see you 👀)
• Lifting like a pretzel
• Sleeping with 5 chaotic pillows
• Wearing shoes your feet gave up on years ago
• Waiting until you’re in serious pain to ask for help

This year, choose better habits: move more, listen to your body, and don’t wait until it’s screaming for attention. 💙

Swipe to see the habits and save this as your 2025 reminder. ✨💪

“It’s just a session.”

Except it’s not.

It’s healing.
It’s learning how your body truly works.
It’s rebuilding strength you thought you lost.
It’s gaining confidence in your movement again.
It’s taking back control instead of feeling stuck.
It’s choosing progress over pain — every single time.

This is the work that changes lives. 💙
