Patient Education

The normal human spine has specific functional curvatures. This vital structure distributes our weight and the shock of our movement appropriately throughout our tissues and joints, while protecting our central nervous system, and holding our spinal cord in its normal relaxed position.

When seated the curves change. The pelvis rocks foreword and the head moves in front of the ribcage. Remaining sedentary in a seated position for extended periods of time deforms our posture and the structure of our neuro-musculo-skeletal system.
