Spinal Hygiene

Building & Maintaining Spinal Wellness

I often refer to spinal health as “spinal hygiene” because I truly believe that promoting spinal health should be a daily hygiene activity like brushing your teeth. The spine and its connected nervous system are the cornerstone of our health, yet we often neglect spinal health until back pain or mobility issues arise.

Performing daily spinal hygiene exercises and stretches can preempt these back issues and set you on the path to overall health and wellness. As I discuss in the spinal health episode of the Foundational Health podcast, motion is key to hydrating the spine and keeping it healthy. Simple exercises—like the ones highlighted in this guide—performed daily can do wonders at improving and maintaining the health of your spine
