Muscular dysfunction tends to occur from the inside out. The deep muscle layers are affected first.

The muscles around the spine don’t all go at once. The rate of atrophy depends on the person’s lifestyle and working conditions, but gradually, as the body gets less and less stimulus from the environment, the magical S diminishes, taking with it the spine’s flexibility, load-bearing strength, and shock-absorbing capacity.

The Back Has a Last-Resort Mechanism

If you’ve ever camped out in a tent during a windstorm, you know how important it is to adjust the tent’s supporting ropes to allow the outer shell to sway as gusts hit it. There might be a need for more tension to windward and less to leeward. But if the direction of the gale shifts in the night, you’ll have to climb out of your warm sleeping bag and make changes, otherwise the tent will shake and flap. The musculature of the torso, as we move, is doing the same thing on a nanosecond-by-nanosecond basis. The muscles that adjust the position of the spine maintain a constant dynamic interaction to keep it upright and fully functional.
