Calculate your back

 

There are many muscles in the back; all collaborate to help keep the healthy functioning of daily motions such as flexing, turning, sitting and standing.

The back musculature can be divided into 3 layers: shallow (directly under the skin), intermediate (middle) and deep (closest to the bone). The muscles of the superficial layer assistance extend and rotate the arms medially and move the shoulder blades. These muscles are liable for the flexibility and motion of the spinal column as well as including stability to the back.
