Spine Health
PROTECT YOUR SPINE. YOU ONLY HAVE ONE!
Did you know that the load pressure on the intervertebral discs is greater when sitting than when standing?
You are probably wondering how this is possible when we are sitting and resting. To understand the functioning of the spine and its burden, you first have to see what the spine is comprised of:
VERTEBRAE: provide the back with sufficient support
INTERVERTEBRAL DISCS: absorb shocks and vibrations
JOINTS AND LIGAMENTS: facilitate the accurate fit of the components and prevent spinal dislocations and deformities
THE NERVES: point to burdening or other damage
DEEP STABILIZING MUSCLES AROUND THE SPINE: allow movement of the whole upper body
