Spinal Health

Your spine is the backbone of your ability to move, sleep, and function properly.

Almost every movement originates from it and without a healthy spine, everyday tasks like sitting up straight, bending over to picking up objects, or walking can be really difficult and painful.

Natural human movement is executed in all three dimensions/planes of movement: saggital, frontal, and transverse. The saggital plane is forward and backward movements like leg movement with walking, the frontal plane is sideways movement like jumping jacks, and the transverse plane is a rotational movement like rotating your shoulder during a throwing motion. Thus, multiplanar training is important because many will focus on one or two dimensions but neglect the other.

Below, I've provided a few exercises that you can do 2-3 times a day for 3-5 full belly breaths.
