Happy Wellness Wednesday!!
Today we wanted to touch on an interesting post by the Institute of Clinical Excellence regarding the spine….
For those who don’t know, a spinal disc is a flexible, fibrocartilaginous cushion located between the vertebrae in your spine. They act as shock absorbers, protect the spine, and allow your back to bend and twist.
The Institute of Clinical Excellence recently made a post emphasizing the fact that a disc is actually a living tissue that depends on compression and decompression cycles to survive because it has no direct blood supply. By being sedentary, we are actually disrupting nutrient diffusion and raising matrix acidity, which accelerates the changes that often get blamed on “aging”.
To read more about the disc, and the importance of movement; head over to and check out their post. You may learn something new☀️
