Connect Therapy and Thoracic Ring Approach
What is Connect Therapy and Thoracic Ring Approach?
The Thoracic Ring ApproachTM is a way of examining and treating the ribcage (Thorax) in 3D, and part of the framework of ConnectTherapy. It is the most evidence based way of assessing your Thorax. Your practitioner will take time to map out each ‘Ring’ or functional spinal unit of the thorax and feel what your whole thorax does through movement. Treatment will include optimization of whichever aspects of your Thorax help to align the entirety of it and help you move and feel better.
The thorax is greatly involved in whole body function as it is making up approximately 40% of your entire body weight and builds the framework for important neurological connections to your digestive system, your emotional well being (vagus nerve) and the neuromuscular connection to your entire body.
Your Thorax is inherently flexible and uses specific neuromuscular control and muscle function for optimal functioning! Using The Thoracic Ring Approach, we aim to restore movement options and affect the entire body positively.
