Manage episode 452563455 series 3551781
The human body is a marvel of connection and adaptability, and nowhere is this more evident than in the spine. In this second installment of the Lower Back Bliss mini-series, Aly DiRoma delves into the spine's role as a dynamic system that supports and influences the health of the lower back. Whether you're feeling stiff, experiencing tension, or just curious about movement mechanics, this episode offers insightful guidance on creating a more harmonious spine system.
In This Episode:
- Discover the "Feel Good Four" approach to lower back health and why Aly takes an indirect route to address pain.
- Learn about the natural curves of the spine—why they're crucial and how to restore balance when they're off.
- Explore how the thoracic spine's mobility and strength directly affect the lumbar spine’s well-being.
- Find out why improving the thoracic spine can relieve lower back tension without targeting the lower back itself.
Highlights:
- Aly explains why lower back exercises may not be the answer and introduces a holistic view of movement mechanics.
- Practical tips for assessing thoracic spine mobility and reducing undue strain on the lumbar spine.
- Learn how everyday activities like lifting, bending, and twisting rely on the spine’s collaborative effort to stay healthy.
Aly’s engaging and actionable insights remind us that small, intentional changes to how we move can make a big difference.
