What is the Upper Back?
This is the region below the cervical spine (neck) and above the low back (lumbar spine). The upper back is called the thoracic spine and it is the most stable part of the spine. The range of motion in the upper back is limited because of the spine’s attachments to the ribs (rib cage).
