Part 5/13:
Muscle strength isn’t just about size—it’s about neural control:
Upper motor neurons orchestrate deliberate movements.
Lower motor neurons activate muscles directly.
Pattern generation in the spinal cord coordinates automatic movements like walking.
Muscular Support
Key muscle groups for back health include:
Erector Spinae: Maintaining upright posture.
Abdominals & Obliques: Stabilizing the core and preventing excessive movement.
Glutes: Particularly the medial glute, stabilizing the pelvis.
