Step 4: Enhance your spine’s strength
When you sit for prolonged periods in the day, your spinal muscles atrophy or become weak. In addition, with repetitive bending or lifting injuries, certain segments of the spine can be injured. Injuries weaken all themuscles around the affected area, especially the smaller muscles that control spinal coordination. Bystrengtheningyour specificspinalmuscles, especially thesmallerones calledmultifidi, your body can restore control to the spinal movement. This decreases strain and daily inflammation, resulting in long-term pain relief. The spine has very long muscles that run vertically to hold you upright during the day. In addition, there are many small muscles deep within the spine that fine-tune the movements of each segment.
