Spinal erectors are the backbone (pun intended) of the posterior chain of the musculoskeletal system. They are a dense intricate structure of smaller woven muscles that attach all alone the spine, going from our sacrum all the way up to the base of our skull. They are additionally important because all of our nerves from our spinal cord pass from our vertebrae through the erectors and spread out along the rest of the body.

1. there are 5 primary muscles that explicitly position and move the shoulder girdle (scapula and clavicle) and 17 different muscles that attach to the scapula to stabilize and move the entire shoulder joint.

2. The shoulder joint have 7 primary movements of flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, internal rotation, external rotation, and circumduction which is a combination of 4 of the previous movements.

3. The majority of the nerves in our arms pass beneath the clavicle (collar bone.) Shoulder misalignment can cause nerve impingement, loss of function, and pain.
