Having a healthy and flexible spine is very beneficial to you. Here are some of the benefits:

• Reduction of injuries: Lack of spinal flexibility can lead to the injury of your spine. With spinal flexibility, your spine has a greater range of motion which leads to fewer injuries. 
• Better posture and balance: Tense muscles can prevent nutrients from getting to your spine causing it to become weak which causes poor posture. Once your muscles relax, your posture becomes better.
