Sprains and Strains Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What muscles should I develop in my back to help provide more support for my spine?
The muscles responsible for providing vital support function are collectively referred to as the “core muscle group”. In addition to posture, they perform abdominal support of vital organs, assist in breathing, movement of our upper extremities, lifting, pushing, pulling, and point of attachment of our heads. There is a misconception that our spine is a very delicate structure when in fact it is one of the toughest structures in our body capable of the myriad of functional and support challenges we place upon it every day.
