Did you know?
The spine is made up of 33 bones called vertebrae. The vertebrae in your lower back or lumbar region, carry the most body weight. The lumbar is the site of most back pain.
*Posture Tips
(Avoid slouching or leaning forward. To maintain good posture, try to sit or stand up straight with your shoulders centered over your hips. This position gives your spine the support it need)
