The two main areas of movement emphasis in the spine are the neck region (cervical spine) and the lower back region (lumbar spine). Details:
- Cervical (neck) region: highly mobile, enabling a wide range of head and neck motions including flexion, extension, rotation, and lateral flexion.
- Lumbar (lower back) region: supports much of the body's weight and provides substantial flexion, extension, and some rotation and lateral flexion, though with less rotational freedom compared to the cervical region.
If you’d like, I can provide a quick comparison of other spinal regions (thoracic and sacral) and how their movements complement or limit overall spinal mobility.
