Spinal health care tips

Strengthen your core:
Build up your core muscles with exercises such as Pilates and yoga. Leg raises are a good strengthener. Lie on your back, slowly raise and lower your legs alternately, before raising and lowering both together. Repeat 10 times or until you feel muscular strain. After a week, your core should be significantly stronger. These 'anti-gravity' muscles hold your spine erect, and help protect against muscle and ligament injury.
