This case study highlights a collegiate runner

Area of Science:

  • Sports Medicine
  • Orthopedics
  • Physical Therapy

Background:

  • Mechanical thoracic pain can significantly impede athletic performance.
  • Collegiate athletes are susceptible to thoracic pain impacting function.

Observation:

  • A collegiate runner presented with mechanical thoracic pain.
  • Pain limited athletic participation and daily activities.

Findings:

  • A 3-week intervention including postural hygiene, exercise, mobilization, and manipulation restored pain-free function.
  • The identified pattern of impairments directly correlated with functional limitations.

Implications:

  • This case supports the hypothesis linking specific impairments to functional deficits in athletes.
