Distinguishing features between the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar vertebrae include: a forked spinous process on vertebrae C2-6, transverse foramen and a large vertebral foramen for the cervical vertebrae. Thoracic vertebrae have relatively pointed and downwards-facing spinous processes, a heart-shaped, body, and transverse costal facets on T1-10. The lumbar have thick, stout bodies and blunt, square spinous processes.

The skeletal framework of the thoracic wall consists of the sternum (anteriorly), twelve ribs (laterally), and twelve thoracic vertebrae (posteriorly). It provides a rich amount of attachment sites for muscles of the neck, abdomen, back, and upper limbs. Some of these muscles attached to the ribs function as accessory respiratory muscles.

Maintaining its mobility is massively important for keeping your neck and low back happy as well as allowing you to breathe well. Limitations in your thoracic mobility will also impede your shoulder flexion range of motion. NB. Roller is at the base of the shoulder blades - full instructions on the website. Repeat 3-4 times
