Overview
The natural curves in your spine that help you balance, absorb shock, and move well.
Detailed Description
Spinal curvature refers to the natural curves of the spine: cervical lordosis, thoracic kyphosis, and lumbar lordosis. These curves are essential for shock absorption, balance, and efficient load distribution.
Abnormal spinal curvatures, such as excessive kyphosis, hyperlordosis, or scoliosis, can lead to pain, dysfunction, and accelerated degeneration. ELDOA addresses curvature issues by creating space within segments and improving the postural awareness needed to maintain healthy alignment.
Understanding normal curvature is essential for appropriate ELDOA prescription. Each position is designed with respect to natural curves, and modifications may be needed for individuals with significant curvature abnormalities.
