In this article, I will explain the “spinal standing muscle” in detail. The standing spine muscles are an important muscle group in the back and play an essential role in maintaining body posture. This article details the structure, function, and importance of the standing spine muscles, as well as effective exercises to train this muscle group. The content is especially recommended for those interested in muscle function and maintaining health.
Please use this article to deepen your understanding of the body.

What is an orthostatic spine muscle
The standing spine muscles are a group of muscles located in the back that mainly support the spine (spine) and play an essential role in maintaining proper posture. This muscle group is regarded as one of the characteristic muscles of humans that enable upright bipedal walking.
How to read spinal standing muscle
It is read as “seki chukiri tsuki.”
Characteristics of the vertebral standing muscles
The standing spinal muscles can be broadly divided into three muscle groups (iliocostosis), longest muscle (saichokin), and spinous muscle (spines)). While each has its own unique role, they cooperate with each other to support spine movement and contribute to overall posture maintenance. This muscle group has high endurance and is active in a variety of everyday movements.
Location and position of the spinal standing muscle

By using a human anatomy chart, it is possible to understand the exact position of the spinal orthostatic muscles. It mainly runs vertically on both sides of the spine, from the neck to the lower back, and the one located most superficially is in line with the rhomboid muscle.
(The standing muscle of the spine is composed of the three muscle groups “iliocostomus muscle (s) muscle, longus muscle (saichokin) muscle,” and the figure shows the longest muscle.)
How to memorize standing spine muscles
One way to remember this muscle group is to have the image of “muscles that properly stand up the spine.” Also, since “spine” means spine and “standing up” means standing up, it's a good idea to memorize the expression “spine standing up,” which is a combination.
English/Latin for spinal orthostatic muscle
The standing spine muscles easily become stiff when tired or stressed, and may cause back stiffness. With proper stretches and exercises, these muscles can be relaxed, which can lead to a better quality of daily life.

Tissues associated with the vertebral orthostatic muscle: characteristics of the spine
The spine consists of dozens of small bones, vertebrae, and each is connected to each other by small joints and intervertebral discs. The vertebrae are broadly divided into 5 sections: cervical spine, thoracic spine, lumbar spine, sacral spine, and coccygeal spine. The cervical spine connects the head and torso, the thoracic spine forms the rib cage, the lumbar spine helps transfer force to the lower limbs, the sacral spine connects to the pelvis, and the coccyx supports balance of movement.
Tissues related to spinal orthostatic muscles: location and position of the spine
The spine runs vertically through the center of the back, starting at the top of the neck (back of the neck) and ending at the bottom with the coccyx. This structure makes it possible to distribute the effects of gravity and keep the body's center of gravity centered. The curve of the spine plays a role in shock absorption and maintains stability when standing upright and walking.
Tissues Associated with the Standing Spine Muscles: Spine Trivia
The spinal standing muscles are directly related to the spine, but in fact, these muscles have an important role in stabilizing each part of the spine while maintaining posture. For example, lower back pain caused by staying in the same position for a long time may be due to excessive tension in the spinal standing muscles. Maintaining the flexibility and strength of these muscles through regular stretching and moderate exercise reduces the burden on the spine and leads to improved posture.
Spine health also directly affects the health of the standing spine muscles. Abnormal spinal curves, such as scoliosis or a curved back, can cause uneven strain on the standing muscles and cause pain and discomfort. Conversely, severe stiffness or weakness in the orthostatic muscles can also contribute to improper spine alignment.
In conclusion, the spine and standing spine muscles work together and complement each other in maintaining healthy posture and motor skills. Being aware of both health in everyday life can be said to be the key to long-term health and happiness.
