What are Thoracic Spine Fractures?
A thoracic spine fracture can be a challenging and life-altering event, impacting both mobility and quality of life. At our outpatient physical therapy clinic, we understand the unique rehabilitation needs of individuals recovering from thoracic spine fractures, and we employ evidence-based interventions to facilitate a comprehensive recovery process.
Physical Therapy for Thoracic Spine Fractures
Post-fracture rehabilitation is crucial for restoring mobility, reducing pain, and regaining functional independence. Our evidence-based approach includes tailored exercises, manual therapy, and patient education. Targeted exercises are designed to gradually strengthen the muscles surrounding the thoracic spine while promoting stability and flexibility. Manual therapy techniques, such as gentle mobilizations, aid in reducing pain and improving joint mobility. Patient education is a vital component, covering proper body mechanics, postural awareness, and personalized strategies for daily activities to minimize the risk of reinjury.
