Whitney and Til discuss a very common (but poorly researched) complaint: upper thoracic spine pain, and what to do about it.
In this episode,
- Does posture drive upper back pain? Does psychology?
- Breaking the Upper-Cross-Syndrome rules (and what “PhD” doesn’t really stand for).
- The Over-the-Edge technique for upper back pain.

Regarding when do you know and area is done being worked on, I have noticed in clients when they are receiving treatment, that the body sometimes gives you a signal but there has been a resolution of something. This sometimes manifests as a marked change in breathing briefly, a deep sudden inhalation followed by a long, what sounds like, Sigh of relief.
