THE TWO ROLES OF THE SPINE
The human body has a very specific function to achieve in life. As for any other living cells, it has to allow for movement to take place. The vehicle of the human body must explore its environment to fulfil the larger plan of Nature: to create more of life. For that matter, the different parts of the body are articulated around the central core of the spine which in itself is made up of smaller articulated parts called vertebrae. Each of the vertebrae has no limitations in all the plane of movement to allow for flexion, extension, rotation and lateral bending or any combinations thereof. The particular stance of the human body is a standing posture which again is permitted by the special arrangement of the spine in relation to the members. We could summarize the first role

Signals from the environment are not transported and perceived adequately in such a stressed environment. Responses to signals are perturbed, and many organs and systems do not receive the normal nervous impetuses that were needed for maintenance of body health. So if the communication between the brain and the body is interfered at the level of the spinal column, a variety of diseases and malfunction will ensue.
It is understood that if one wants to recover the appropriate function of its body and the normal state of homeostasis that we call health, it needs to restore the two roles of the central axis of the body. In consequence, one will have to restore the correct alignment of the spine, its proper posture. One has to retrain the spine to adequate biomechanics by allowing for all regular movements to take place and for the necessary strength to be reestablished. And top and foremost, one has to allow for optimal nerve circulation to be reestablished
