Squat Mistake That Destroys Your Lower Back
Your pelvis is the foundation of your squat. Get it wrong — and your spine pays the price.

On the left, you see a neutral pelvis with a slight arch, keeping the lumbar spine safe and engaged.
On the right, the pelvis tucks under into a posterior tilt, causing spinal flexion

Forward head posture (FHP) is a poor habitual neck posture. It often co-exists with Upper Crossed Syndrome

Defined by hyperextension of the upper cervical vertebrae and forward translation of the cervical vertebrae.[1]
Thoracic Kyphosis is a complication of the combination of slouched-forward shoulders and rounded upper back.
Can lead to a painful shortening of the muscles of the back of the neck, as well as compression of the cervical vertebrae—the uppermost portion of the spine that supports the head and protects the spinal cord.
Due to the increased compressive forces through the neck joints and increased muscle tension, pain is the common outcome. Some of the types of problems associated with FHP are:

Headaches
Neck discomfort
Muscle tension in the neck and shoulders
Discomfort in the mid back
Chest pain
Pain, pins & needles and numbness in the arms and hands

Sural Nerve
The sural nerve is a purely sensory nerve in the lower leg that provides sensation to the back of the calf, the outer ankle, heel, and side of the foot. It is formed from parts of the tibial and common fibular nerves and can be used for nerve biopsies or grafting due to its superficial location and sensory function.

Conditions and symptoms
Pathologies: Conditions that can affect the sural nerve include entrapment, sports injuries, and complications from surgery.
Symptoms: Nerve entrapment or damage can cause pain, numbness, and tingling (paresthesia) along the nerve's pathway in the ankle and foot.
Neuropathy: In cases of diabetic neuropathy, the sural nerve is often affected early, leading to symptoms like numbness, pain, and tingling, especially at night.

A nerve root is the initial segment of a nerve that emerges from the central nervous system, such as the spinal cord or brainstem. Spinal nerve roots are classified as either sensory (dorsal) or motor (ventral), and these roots combine to form spinal nerves that carry signals to and from the rest of the body. Damage, compression, or inflammation of a nerve root, often caused by issues like disc herniation or bone spurs, can lead to pain, numbness, or weakness in the affected area
