Thoracic Spine

Located in an intermediate region and of less mobility, the thoracic spine plays an important role in the protection and sustentation of the organs, along with the ribs.

The thoracic spine is located between the cervical and lumbar regions and it has a high resistance and shock absorption capacity. Its main function, besides protecting vital organs and viscera, is to enable and maintain the upright posture of the trunk.
