The transversospinalis musculature is extremely important functionally, and important with pain and dysfunction. It includes the multifidus, the thickest muscle of the low back; and the semispinalis capitis, the thickest muscle in the back of the neck. When working this musculature, it is extremely important to work very far medially, over the laminar groove of the spine.
The authors stated that Michael Jackson challenged our understanding of the modes and mechanisms of movement, the limits of movement, and therefore mechanisms of spinal injury. Dancers often try to perform increasingly challenging moves that may create stresses on the spine that can cause injury.
The authors concluded that low back pain may cause activation of the low back musculature elsewhere along the Superficial Back Line Myofascial Continuity.
