How often do we take our lower back for granted? Your lower back is an important part of your overall body anatomy. The role your lower back plays is quite crucial to your everyday survival. Maintaining a good posture is essential to protecting your lower back. Understanding the basic structure of the bones, ligaments and muscles of your lower back gives you a clearer picture of how your back works. When you walk or jump, how does your lower back absorb the shock of your movement? Your ability to bend over, twist, bend backwards, make rotational movements is controlled by a simple structural arrangement on your lower back. The soft organs of your belly and pelvis are eternally grateful to your lower back for its ever present protective effect.
