Loaded mobility of the spinal column.

This exercise fosters the multifidi muscles peculiar mechanical behavior under eccentric loading.

Due to their high cross-sectional area and particular fiber arrangement the multifidi muscles are able to answer eccentric loading with an equally high concentric force. This ensures integrity of the joints of the spinal column in movement.

Assume an upright poster, establish proper contact with the ground. The bar is lowered through flexing one vertebra after the other. Elevation of the front foot allows for a better felt sense for the posterior chain.

Ascending back up should be accomplished through conscious erection of each vertebra. Feel the spinous process reach, dragging the vertebral body with.

Our spine is designed to move through various planes of motion and it is designed to do so in a powerful manner if necessary.
