Exercises for Back – The Secret to Spine Health

It simply cannot be denied that the spine is simply astonishing, having involved over many years to become what it is today. As you no doubt already know, the spine not only supports the body, but it also serves to connect the bones and muscles in the body. Ironically, a vast number of people still continue to suffer from back pain due to poor posture.

The Elbow ” Part Two

The elbow, like most of the bodys joints, exhibits what are called accessory movements, small gliding and sliding movements which occur inside the joint during movement but which cannot be performed independently. These small movements are essential to the function of a joint and are easily disturbed, reduced or lost in injury or long term postural abnormality. The elbow has small, hardly noticeable movements in a sideways direction as the joint gaps slightly under pressure. This small gapping does not contribute greatly to the positions attainable by the wrist or hand but does make a functional contribution.

The Shoulder

The shoulder is a particularly interesting joint which is designed to allow a considerable degree of joint movement to occur between the arm and the trunk. The shoulder is classified as a ball and socket joint but the name is less appropriate than the hip joint. The upper end of the humerus or arm bone is formed into a large rounded structure which does resemble the ball of the hip joint to some extent. The socket however is not the deep one of the hip but a shallow and much smaller one than expected from this type of joint.
