At ASPIRE we know that upper back and rib pain is often driven by poor posture, repetitive movements or muscle imbalances. We identify the root cause and correct the associated issues — giving you lasting relief, not temporary fixes.
Irritation of the joints connecting the ribs to the thoracic spine — a common and often overlooked cause of upper back and rib pain.
Prolonged sitting, forward head posture and rounded shoulders place sustained load on the thoracic spine and surrounding structures.
Thoracic disc bulges and degenerative changes can cause localised and referred pain patterns across the upper back and ribs.
