Spinal Conditioning
Spinal conditioning is strengthening the muscles that support the spine.
Why do spinal conditioning? Stronger spinal muscles help support the osteoporotic vertebrae which helps reduce the risk of fracture. Stronger spinal muscles can produce better posture or help correct poor posture. Exercises performed laying on your stomach facilitate stronger spinal muscles.
Which muscles are exercised in spinal conditioning? Strengthening the muscles that hold the spine straight and upright is important. These muscles run up and down the back and sides of your spine. They are called your erector spinae muscles.
Goal: Perform 1 set of all 3 spinal conditioning exercises daily.
