Injuries weaken all themuscles around the affected area, especially the smaller muscles that control spinal coordination. By strengtheningyour specific spinalmuscles, especially thesmaller ones 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.
