Managing movement: Thoracic Spine and Ribs

About the course

Overview

Managing Movement: Thoracic Spine and Ribs is a Kinetic Control® (KC) module focused on the thoracic and rib cage region — covering assessment and retraining strategies for a region increasingly recognised as central to shoulder, cervical, and lumbo-pelvic function.

Who it’s for

For physiotherapists, sports therapists, osteopaths, and rehab practitioners working with thoracic and rib cage presentations — from postural dysfunction and chronic pain to shoulder- and neck-related driving impairments and breathing-mechanic considerations.

What you’ll learn

• KC-informed assessment of the thoracic spine and rib cage
• Retraining strategies for common thoracic and rib movement impairments
• How thoracic mobility and control affect adjacent regions (cervical, shoulder, lumbo-pelvic)
• Progression frameworks from clinical retraining through to functional and sport-specific application
• Integration with the wider Kinetic Control framework

Outcomes

On completion you’ll have applied KC-informed knowledge of thoracic spine and rib cage assessment and retraining — ready to integrate into clinical practice across MSK, sports, and rehab caseloads.
