When the healthy adult human spine is viewed from the side, there are curves that open toward the front and toward the back. In the neck and lower back, there are curves that open toward the back, called lordosis. In the upper back and tailbone region, these curves open toward the front and are called kyphosis. Overall, these curves form the center of gravity of the spine and trunk.
Our spine is designed for an upright position. Bending forward, in particular, disrupts the curves of the spine and affects the distribution of forces. If this happens often or for long periods, herniations develop. Even before a herniation has formed, it causes serious pain in the lower back, neck, upper back and hips.
Taking care of spinal health prevents posture and gait disorders. In particular, it prevents trigger points from forming in the upper back. It allows for a healthier, more energetic and pain-free life.
