🦴 Targeted ELDOA Positions

Specific spinal segments and exercise positions for Bursitis.

C7-T1

Cervicothoracic Junction

Critical transition zone where mobile cervical spine meets rigid thoracic cage. Stress concentration and injury susceptibility site.

Junction syndromeThoracic outlet syndromeRotational asymmetriesPostural dysfunction

C7-T1 Extension ELDOA

Advanced Hold: 60-90 seconds
  • Upper thoracic extension
  • Maintain cervical length
  • Shoulder blade depression
  • Breathe into upper back
L5-S1

Lumbosacral Junction

Bears highest loads in spine. Steeper disc inclination increases shear stresses. Most common site of disc herniation and spondylolysis.
