Spine Strengthening Exercises

The spine consists of 33 individual bones or vertebrae and 23 intervertebral discs. The spine is comprised of neck (cervical), thorax (thoracic) and lower (lumbar) bones (vertebrae). Each has a slightly different shape, which, when fitted together, form a lazy ‘S’ shaped curve. This curve is very important as it provides the optimum mechanical advantage, putting the least amount of stress and strain on the surrounding joints, ligaments and discs.
