When our spine is rotating, its movement is coupled, which means that each individual spinal joint rotates only slightly, but those rotations add up to a pretty substantial range.

As we're not able to consciously dictate movement of a single vertebra alone, we often don't acknowledge when something is off on that level, because the whole spine seems to be still working fine.

In reality, having even one non-cooperating vertebra can significantly decrease our total spinal range of motion.

Finding a way to mobilize and build muscular control around it, is a good direction for regaining full power of your body.
