I don’t think that the traction machinery devices we are talking about will help much in a thoracic curve .....after all, you have to grab the rib cage with a vest that contacts all the ribs. The benefits would mostly be seen down low, in the lumbar.
Thoracic curves are up high in the body,so it makes it hard to blame gravity....the muscles and soft tissues really have a strong influence in why rotation and curves happen......I don’t know if these thoracic area muscles get the exercise and stimulation they need while wearing a vest....???
