Features
- Magister Short Thoracic Pivot is ideal for persons with a forward head posture that have a pivot to retract their scapulae to put their spine in the correct posture
- Needed as an integral part of low back treatment, as it is impossible to have normal lumbar mechanics if the thoracic spine and ribs are not normally postured
- Surprisingly effective in many cervical problems as the thoracic area and ribs are frequently neglected since they are not painful
- Strengthening muscles which support improved posture and also back pain
- Used by physical therapists, massage therapists, and chiropractors to treat soft tissue issues related to the spine
- Also available (separately):
– Magister Standard Thoracic Pivot (Code 1953)
