About this book

Básicamente, la espalda sirve para: sostener el cuerpo y permitir su movimiento; contribuir a mantener estable el centro de gravedad; proteger la médula espinal en una envuelta de hueso. Para poder sostener el peso del cuerpo, la espalda tiene que ser sólida; para permitir el movimiento, la columna vertebral tiene que ser flexible; para contribuir a mantener estable el centro de gravedad, la contracción de la musculatura debe actuar como un contrapeso que compense y, para ello, la musculatura debe ser potente; para proteger la médula espinal, las vértebras disponen de un agujero en su centro por el que discurre la médula.En 27 apartados distribuidos en 4 capítulos, el libro le enseñará: cómo es y cómo funciona la espalda -la columna vertebral, el sistema muscular, el psoas, etc.-; cómo actuar frente al dolor de espalda y las alteraciones de la columna vertebral -cómo aparece el dolor de espalda, la contractura muscular, la inflamación, hipercifosis, hiperlordosis, rectificaciones, factores que predicen la duración del dolor, qué tratamientos son eficaces-; normas posturales -cuidados al estar acostado, sentado, de pie, al inclinarse, al cargar peso, etc.-. El último capítulo incluye más de treinta ejercicios específicos de basculación, elevación, rotación, extensión, estiramientos, balanceos, etc., que, sin duda, le aliviarán y le ayudarán a prevenir el dolor de espalda.
