That's A Stretch!


Did you know that loss of the lordotic curve (the C-shaped curve in your neck and low back) can stretch the spinal cord by as much as 5-7 cm, resulting in a decrease in the function of the nervous system, leading to possible disease and malfunction of the body? This was determined by Dr. Alf Breig. Dr Breig was a neurosurgeon, as well as a nobel prize recipient, who conducted extensive research on the spinal cord and central nervous system.
