Thoracic Facet Joint Pain

Thoracic facet joints can get seriously stiff, especially if you spend long periods sitting. Stiff joints get grumpy and can really cause chaos, with the pain causing muscle spasms in the overlying muscles that can sometimes take your breath away. There are two joints either side of the spine at every vertebra, and their job is to allow and control movement. The ribs also insert here, making it even more prone to stiffness. Luckily, we know what to do with grumpy facet joints to cheer them up, and we love nothing more than giving them a really good loosen up… and seeing the relief on your face – if we get some clicks out of it – is even better!
