Spinal hygiene is a preventive program designed to educate and empower individuals. This preventive program will not only improve your spinal and general health, but also will enhance your sense of well-being.

Spinal flexibility, strength and balance are essential factors in maintaining the integrity of the intervertebral foramina and the spinal nerves they protect in order to facilitate the vital neuro-biological functions of the body.

A Healthy Spine:

• Normal spinal curvatures.
• No stress on the intervertebral foramina.
• Proper spinal nerve integrity.
• Even pressure on discs.
• Better flexibility and muscle tone.
• Dynamic diaphragmatic muscles for proper breathing.
• Proper abdominal and lower spinal muscle balance.
• Better adaptation to gravity and stress.

An Unhealthy Spine:

• Distorted spinal curvatures.
• Closing off of the intervertebral foramina.
• Compromised neurobiological functions.
• Uneven pressure on discs.
• Lack of mobility and unbalanced muscle tone.
• Loss of diaphragmatic muscle strength and even respiratory rate and rhythm.
• Lack of abdominal and spinal muscle balance.
• Poor adaptation to gravity and stress.
• Premature aging, pain and discomfort.
