OVERVIEW
Thoracic Spine Mobility is organized by Niel Asher Education.
Thoracic mobility influences shoulder function, overhead movement, rotation, posture, and whole-body movement quality.
Thoracic Spine Mobility is an in-depth online master class presented by experienced athletic trainer Eric Beard. It combines assessment, corrective programming, technique development, exercise progression, and reassessment strategies.
The course helps rehabilitation, therapy, and fitness professionals identify thoracic mobility restrictions and develop practical, progressive interventions suited to individual client needs.
Description;
This course examines the relationship between thoracic mobility and shoulder movement, overhead-squat performance, rotation, and common compensatory patterns.
Eric provides detailed guidance on assessment, corrective exercise selection, technique, coaching cues, progression, regression, and reassessment. Participants will explore how tools such as foam rollers, mobility balls, resistance bands, and proprioceptive training may be integrated into corrective programs.
Two hours of online video classes are supported by a fully illustrated 170-page course text, giving practitioners both practical demonstrations and a detailed long-term reference.
