spine connects your spine to the ribs, the sacrum to the pelvis, and the neck to the skull. In all, your spine has 364 joints! Movement is the key to the health of your joints, especially in the spine. Basic movements and more advanced activities help keep your joints strong and healthy. Our physical therapists can guide you through a safe and effective routine to ensure you keep your joints and body healthy so you can do what you love! Did you know? Your spine relies heavily on your hip joints and pelvis to function correctly. Most movement when you squat or bend down comes from your hips. When your hips lose their mobility, your body compensates and shifts the strain to your spine, causing pain and abnormal movement patterns that may lead to injury.
