by josefine | Jun 6, 2025
The spine consists of tailbone, sacrum, five vertabreas in the lower back, 12 vertabreas in the middle back, and 7 vertabreas in the neck. Between each vertabrea is a disc of connective tissue, a tendon like, strong material. Furthermore, all vertabreas are connected by joints, this is why you sometimes hear a cracking sound when stretching your back. In this Micro Pause you get to explore the relationship between your spine and your pelvis, with the purpose of getting to know your own body better.
