Exercise and The Spine
Tissue Adaptation and Remodeling

Bone

Bone remodeling requires the action of two distinct cell types, the osteoblasts and the osteoclasts. Osteoblasts lay bone down whereas osteoclasts resorb bone. These two cell types do not act independently but are coupled and bone resorption and formation occur at the same spot on a bone surface. After about the age of 35 the amount of bone that is deposited starts to fall behind the amount of bone that is resorbed leading to a gradual decline in bone mass. Regular exercise and loading of the spine positively influences this natural process. Exercise is the key for improved bone remodeling creating greater bone density and strength
