The back muscles are a complex network supporting posture, movement, and breathing, divided into three layers:

Superficial (like Trapezius, Latissimus Dorsi), moving the shoulders and arms;

Intermediate (like Serratus Posterior), involved in breathing;

and Deep/Intrinsic (like Erector Spinae, Multifidus), stabilizing and moving the spine itself, controlling posture and vertebral alignment, from neck to hips.
