Spinal Mechanics

Overview

How your spine moves, bends, and carries loads through its joints and discs.

Detailed Description

Spinal mechanics refers to the biomechanical behavior of the spine, including how vertebrae move relative to each other, how loads are transmitted through discs and facets, and how the spine responds to different postures and activities.

ELDOA is designed based on detailed understanding of spinal mechanics. Each position precisely manipulates spinal mechanics to create targeted decompression, using body position, muscle tension, and breath to achieve specific effects at individual segments.

Understanding spinal mechanics helps explain why certain positions and postures cause problems and how ELDOA counteracts these issues. It also guides appropriate exercise selection based on individual mechanical needs.
