When practicing yoga, we often hear teachers say: we should have the concept of extending the spine.
In fact, one of the most important benefits of extending the spine is to nourish the intervertebral disc and maintain the health of the spine, which will benefit you all your life! The intervertebral disc is located between the vertebral body and the vertebral body, which is rich in water.
Its main function is to participate in the cushioning and damping of the body and nourish the spine.
However, modern people have limited space to extend the intervertebral disc due to sedentary, and squeeze the intervertebral disc for a long time (as shown in the figure below), which will greatly compress the water in the intervertebral disc.
In the past, it is easy to cause lumbar disc herniation! Today, yogi Xiaobian shares a set of spine maintenance sequence, which can fully extend the spine and nourish the intervertebral disc.
