THE SPINE

& NECK - BACK MUSCLES

The spine is not only the body’s central support but also a key player in movement, posture, and force transmission. This course takes a layered approach to spinal anatomy—vertebrae, curves, deep stabilizers, and intrinsic back muscles—to build a practical understanding of how the spine functions in motion.

How do different spinal regions contribute to load and mobility?
What roles do the intrinsic and extrinsic muscles of the back play?
How does spinal training improve functional movement and control?

You’ll explore vertebral column regions, spinal curves, and common misalignments, plus in-depth anatomy of the back muscles including the erector spinae and transversospinales groups. Progressive training guidelines integrate anatomy with real-world strategies for spinal mobility, control, and stability.
