In this 16 min mini case, I review a treatment progression for the thoracic spine to improve overhead shoulder mobility
- the day prior, his cervical spine was cleared using cervical retraction and SB to the involved side
- this improved his overhead and shoulder IR mobility, but it was still painful to overpressure at end range
- trunk rotation pattern was limited to the involved side
- progressions
- IASTM to thoracic paraspinals on the involved side
- targeted isometrics to resisted shoulder overhead
- PNF Agonist reversals to enhance new trunk mobility
- banded overhead mobility with trunk rotation
