Each waking moment we use our muscles, skeletal structure, and organs to move about. We use our aligned bones as internal braces to hold up the muscles. The properly lengthened muscles, in return, hold up the skeleton. They all work together so that we all can enjoy life's riches.
In my eBook, "Thoughts, physical movement, appearance, and achieving personal goals" found at www.BackInsight.com, I discuss the importance of the proper use of our muscles and keeping an upright bone structure. I discuss in detail the importance of several muscles that are used exclusively to maintain our back in an upright position. They are the sternocleidomastoids, the scalenes, and the trapezius muscles. They work to adjust and can even lengthen our spine so that our body can move about as easily as possible.
Your spine acts as a "mast." Of course it is important that the mast of any vessel is straight. We all know that the spine is not exactly straight. A spine actually forms a slight "S", yet it is strong and supple. The spine has many muscles, ligaments, and bones that surround it. They all fit well when the body is upright and aligned. This fitting is what we'd like to get as close to perfect as possible. It is similar to the comfort and feel of a nice dress coat. The spine is very important to one's appearance, and to the enjoyment of life.
We are like a sailing vessel. As a sailing ship that gracefully moves on the ocean waves, you are a vessel that moves on land. In fact, the large trapezius muscle or upper back muscle is shaped somewhat like a sail. It is connected to the back of the head and widens at the shoulders (yard arms of a sailing ship) and then down to the lower region of the backbone called the lumbar vertebra.
There are many other smaller muscles in the neck and back but we will limit the discussion to these three. The sternocleidomastoids connect to the skull just below each ear. They travel to the sternum and the clavicles. The scalenes are a pair of muscles that are attached at the top of the neck's vertebra and travel down to connect to the back of the first rib.
