Muscles which protect the back, but may weaken, atrophy, or spasm

• If tissues heal with poor function, symptoms can persist long after they heal. 

• Such areas may become chronic and at risk of reinjury.

• A good long term recovery is best achieved by restoring function. 

• The back and neck are used every day.

• If they are injured and function is not restored, they will get hurt again due to the repetitive stress they are exposed to in the course of everyday life.
