LOWER BACK & PELVIS
The lumbar spine starts around 5-6 inches below the shoulder blade connecting at the top to the thoracic spine and at the bottom to the sacral spine.
The lumbar spine is made up of 5 vertebrae with shock absorbing discs between each one. This part of the spine was built for both flexibility and power.
The pelvis is a set of sturdy bones that protect the organs in the abdominopelvis cavity and anchor the hip, thigh and abdomen muscles. Several bones make up the pelvis including: the sacrum, coccyx, and the right and left coxal (hip) bones.
