A method for treating deficiencies of a patient's thoracic rotation. The method includes comparing the symmetry of the range of motion for the thoracic rotation, lumbar rotation, thoracic flexion, and/or lumbar flexion about the spine using a motion capture system. The method further includes providing electrical simulation to a sequence of muscles associated with the thoracic rotation, lumbar rotation, thoracic flexion, and/or lumbar flexion for increasing the symmetry by elongating relevant muscles of the sequence of muscles.
