Your spine has many articulations to it, but the brain recognizes as one piece for movement. Many times we lose motor control over our entire spine and instead of using it as one piece we end up using one piece here and one piece there. So instead of distributing the force between 34 discs, we end up hanging one two in our cervical spine, zero in the thoracic, and one in the lumbar. This is now three discs attempting to do the job as 34. Taking your spinal through full flexion and extension can start the recognition process of not moving certain articulations. The cat/camel segmental movement is a great way to learn this. We want to start gaining full control of the back for health and performance! Check out how she can move certain parts of her back, but has some flat sticky points. Those sticky points are not the painful pieces, but they are the problem. We need to wake them up and get them involved in the party of MOVEMENT! Global flexion and global extension are part of the movement paradigm. If you cannot create tension through this whole pattern, that is a serious problem. youtube/watch?v=E8YEDRJoUIs
