Fitness Basics –“ Spine care ”

I got an opportunity to attend a “ Spine Care” programme organised by AOL at Bangalore. Programme was facilitated by well trained &  experienced teachers , Doctors by profession.

“ Back Bone a vital component of human body was the focussed element of the whole programme”

Biological importance of spine was explained.

Backbone is the powerhouse of entire body system supporting trunk and involved in every movement of head, arms and legs. The spinal vertebrae and the muscles surrounding work together to maintain back’s natural curves, to absorb the force of gravity and the body weight, also help upper body bend, twist and turn. Back and spine also protect spinal cord which travel down from brain.

Main thrust was on aligning the deformed spine of participants. Immediate relief  experienced by all the Participants. Different technique demonstrated and practiced  for day to day routine with full awareness of spine care like ..................

Ø  How to sit

Ø  How to stand

Ø  How to sleep

Ø  How to walk

Ø  How to work

Ø  How to lift weight

Ø  How to take care of spine and other joints etc.....

One must aware & learn the skill to take care this vital element – “Spinal cord ”

“ Fitness – physical /mental/spiritual  -  Mean a healthy spine ”

Focus on keeping your spine straight. It is the job of the

spine to keep the brain alert
