An area in which I’d like to touch upon today is the idea behind your “trunk integrity”. The concept is multi-faceted but in short means your strength, stability and mobility of your entire trunk. Your trunk comprises of a multi-layered slab of muscle which is primarily responsible (along with the help of bones) in protecting your vital organs. The secondary responsibility of the trunk muscles is ensuring that your spine remains protected and healthy in its own right. Within this blog post I am going to highlight the common functions and dysfunctions of the trunk, as well as ways to ensure you have adequate trunk integrity.
