Is bending your spine dangerous — or misunderstood? In this episode, we break down the science behind spinal flexion and its role in low back injury. Drawing on research from Lehman (2019) and Coenen et al. (2013), we’ll explore how repeated or loaded flexion affects spinal tissues, why tissue creep and fatigue matter, and how smart training can reduce your risk. Learn when flexion becomes a problem — and when it’s a natural, safe part of movement.
