Identifying Thoracic Spine Pain

The thoracic spine (upper back) serves as an anchoring point for your ribs and plays an important role in trunk range of motion and organ protection. There are many ways to injure the thoracic spine, with blunt trauma, hyperextension, and forced rotation being the most common. Pushing and pulling activities like shovelling will typically worsen thoracic symptoms. Discomfort with deep breathing or arm elevation will tend to aggravate a rib dysfunction, while pain with coughing and sneezing could indicate a problem with the rib joint. Osteoarthritic pain in the thoracic spine gradually worsens throughout the day.

Many seniors enjoy gambling, whether it be bingo, racetrack betting, or casino gambling. For most, it is a harmless form of entertainment. But how do you know when a senior loved one’s gambling has become a problem? Some signs might be 1) bragging about gambling and exaggerating wins while ignoring or minimizing losses, 2) borrowing money for gambling, and 3) lying about the amount of time/money they spend gambling. Talk to your senior loved one about their problem gambling and determine what possible causes may exist. Encourage them to get help and let them know they have your support.

Resistance training helps with weight management, as your body will burn more calories when you gain more muscle mass. Talk to your doctor to see if you are healthy enough to begin resistance training. An exercise professional can then help you develop a safe and effective program.
