Warming up the spine and joints
The benefits of spine mobility work.
The alternating pressures push and pulls fresh nutrients and waste products in and out of the discs. They also do other, less obvious things, such as stimulating the healing processes at a cellular level and teasing out tight muscles and ligaments.
Gently mobilizing the spine opens up the lower back, just like pulling out a concertina. Sitting compresses the spine, its due time we allowed gravity to do its thing. It separates the jammed lower vertebrae and takes you out of your habitual stoop. It is a brilliant combination, and really – so simple. You can hold onto a rail or a chair to execute this daily.
