When your doctor says you have compression in the spine, she/he is telling you you are human. We ALL have compression in the spine eventually, because gravity is constantly pulling us downward, crushing the bones over time. Fortunately, we also have muscles, and a brain.

But your spine is not a lamp pole, and your ribcage is not a lampshade. It’s a chandelier. You must activate the muscles of the upper body so they are holding their own weight.
