Physical therapy exercises for the thoracic spine improve mobility, reduce stiffness, and strengthen surrounding muscles, alleviating pain and tension. These exercises correct posture, enhance flexibility, and increase blood flow, reducing discomfort in the upper back, neck, and shoulders. They also improve breathing by allowing better rib cage movement and help prevent strain on the lower back by ensuring proper spinal alignment. Overall, thoracic exercises promote better movement and pain relief in affected areas.
