Abstract
Limitations in thoracic spine motion may be due to restrictions in contractile or non-contractile tissues. Joint mobilizations are indicated when hypomobility of a joint (non-contractile tissue) is identified. The ability for a patient to perform self-mobilizations of the thoracic spine and ribs may help maximize intervention outcomes. The purpose of this article is to describe a low cost, portable device which can be used for thoracic spine self-mobilization techniques.Entities:
