One must remember that the body is a machine consisting of optics, mechanics, chemistry, and electronics. The key factor in maintaining musculoskeletal health is maintaining the body’s neutral position as much as possible during the day. What is this neutral position? The neutral position (or comfort zone) is defined as the position of an appendage that is neither moved away from nor directed toward the body’s midline, nor laterally twisted (Figure 1.2). There is always a neutral zone for every joint and muscle. An individual must keep their entire musculature evenly balanced. Our posture and how we habitually use our body the most are what can lead our body and spine to begin to shorten and to curve into unhealthy patterns. Keeping the spine healthy at every age is crucial to the general health and longevity of the physical body.
