The group of muscles that run alongside the spine, supporting posture and enabling spinal movement. Strengthening these muscles through physiotherapy and yoga is essential for preventing recurrence of back pain and disc problems.
Paraspinal Muscles
anatomyThe paraspinal muscles are the long groups of muscles that run along both sides of the spine, from the neck down to the pelvis. They keep the body upright, support posture and help the back bend, straighten and twist. When they are weak or in spasm, back pain is common. Strengthening them through guided physiotherapy and yoga helps reduce the chance of back pain and disc problems returning.
