EXPERIMENTS THAT GO
WITH THE AXIOMS OF
Advanced Biostructural Correction™
Experiment
to demonstrate muscles pulling vertebrae anterior (toward the
front of the body:
1.
The
pulling of the Psoas muscles in the lumbar spine. Sit in a
normal chair. Note the Psoas muscles attach from the inside of
the thighs
(on the
femur)
and on the lumbar vertebrae
(sometimes
on the pelvis too).
Stand up normally and note the pull of those muscles on the
spine which pulls the lumbar vertebrae anterior
(forward).
2.
The
pulling of the diaphragm on spinal bones from the upper
lumbars to the midthoracics (attachment
varies a bit from person to person).
Notice that the diaphragm attaches to the ribs in front and
the spine in back. Feel the spinal bones as you breathe out,
pinch your nose shut, close your mouth and try to breathe in.
You will notice the diaphragm pulls the back toward the front
of the rib cage.
3.
Muscles above that point pulling the rest of the vertebra
forward if they are displaced backward. Standing upright: Put
a hand on your forehead and flex your head or neck or both
forward against resistance supplied by your hand. As you go
through the range of motion you will notice the various
vertebrae in your neck and upper thoracic spine being pulled
forward toward each other as the neck and head get farther and
farther out in front of the trunk of your body.
