Strong Legs for a Strong Back 7

In chapter one, it was pointed out that certain leg muscles were considered secondary supports of the back and that two of them contributed to the balance of the pelvic ring, thus helping to maintain normal spinal curves (see page 7). In chapter two, which dealt with posture and body mechanics, emphasis was placed on the use of the leg muscles to help prevent back strain.

It seems to make good sense then, that if we are to ‘use the legs to spare the back’, they should be strong and flexible and functioning optimally. A brief look at the chief leg muscles involved in preventing backache therefore seems appropriate.
