Upper back injury
Compared to the lower back and the neck, the Spine-Health article says that "the thoracic spine (mid portion of the spine at the level of the rib cage) is less likely to be injured because it is relatively immobile and has extra support." Injuries in this area can involve rib fracture and intercostal neuralgia, as well as intercostal muscle strains in sports that involve rotation of the torso (e.g. weight training with rotation), such as swimming, golf, tennis and even skiing, the article adds.
