Dorsal arthrosis is very common even if it does not always cause pain. Very often, a joint and therefore functional limitation is a frequent symptom. Pain is often localized and can be caused by coughing; sometimes it radiates to the hips and ribs or to the front of the chest.
Arthrosis is the consequence of a muscle-tension syndrome, which is why it is important to intervene on the muscles by rebalancing the posture.
With targeted stretching exercises that allow you to stretch the spine and relax the muscles, you can rebalance your posture by dedicating at least 15 minutes per day of exercise.
