Spinal Stability Training

– From the low back all the way up to the neck, there are hundreds of tiny muscles in the spine that attach from vertebrae to vertebrae. – Larger muscles pull from these foundation muscles. – Subluxation or injury is more likely to occur if the foundation or your spine is weak. – When not in regular use, muscles of the core and spine tend to atrophy. – People who sit at a desk or are inactive most of the day are almost certain to have a weak core and spine as a component of their condition. – Clients that have a strong core and muscles around the spine tend to have fewer injuries, and when they do, they heal and bounce back quicker

Other Exercises
