Thoracic Facet Dysfunction (CMT Micro Module)
Thoracic facet dysfunction is a common but often overlooked cause of mid and upper back pain. When the facet joints lose their normal mobility, spinal movement becomes less efficient, contributing to pain, stiffness and altered muscle function. Accurate assessment and appropriate treatment are essential for achieving the best clinical outcomes.
This Corrective Manual Therapy micro module provides a focused, practical approach to assessing and treating thoracic facet dysfunction. You’ll learn the relevant anatomy, accurate assessment techniques, an effective treatment sequence and practical home-care strategies that help patients achieve lasting results.

Online Course Overview
The facet joints ‘open’ during spinal flexion and ‘close’ during spinal extension. In side-bending and rotation the Facet joints on one side open as the other side closes. The joint capsules of the intervertebral facets are richly enervated and contain unusually large numbers of mechanoreceptors and nociceptors. The interplay between these specialised nerve endings is critical in improving function and reducing back pain.
This presentation demonstrates key techniques for treating Multifidus, restoring Facet joint function and eliminating Thoracic back pain!
