Introduction:

The human body is driven through physical and functional activity. Activity has an impact on lifestyle. Technological advances are increasing the number of three physically inactive lifestyles. Lack of exercise is considered a health risk factor and is often associated with the development of degenerative diseases such as hypertension, obesity, and spinal disease.

The present scenario on lifestyle is persons are doing fewer activities and using more gadgets its call sedentary lifestyle and sedentary lifestyle has an impact on person’s postural health of the body and its give impact on the structure of the body like bones and muscles due to faulty adaptation of postures it gives more impact on the spinal health of the human body.

The spine is an integral part of human mechanics because it has natural curvature that provides the body stability and mobility. Kyphosis is a condition in which the natural curves of the spine are unnaturally high. it can occur as a result of poor posture, while lordosis might develop as a result of an enlarged lumbar curve. A subject with enhanced lumbar lordosis has weak and stretched abdominal muscles, whereas the spine's erector muscles and hip flexor muscles should be shortened. During relaxed standing, these lumbopelvic imbalances should cause an increased lumbar lordosis and an enhanced anterior tilt of the pelvis.^1-3

Malalignment of the spinal structure affects posture and causes a variety of spinal disorders such as back pain, neck pain, scoliosis, and kyphosis. Back pain and disability are associated with lack of exercise and affect about 80% of the adult population at some point in life. In some cases, this painful condition can be severe and chronic, so an exercise program as a non-pharmacological treatment to improve spinal stability and mobility, thereby reducing back pain and disability. ^4-6

Physical treatments aim to enhance function and stop disability from getting worse, Active strategies like exercise are associated with decreased disability. Passive methods (rest, medications) are related to worsening disability and aren't recommended. Public health programs should educate the general public on the prevention of low back pain and neck pain. The goal of this research is to help the community stay healthy and understand the value of back-related health and awareness activities.^14-23

A spinal wellness program is a program to assess and maintain the physical and functional alignment of the spine among people without any pain, which incorporates stretching and strengthening to make sure normal structural stability and functional mobility. Wellness is a concept at the forefront of health promotion. The structure of this program is aimed at promoting health and identifying and correcting spinal problems.

Need of the study

physical changes like tightness, stiffness, or weakness as well as functional limitations are not recognized until pain and discomfort overcome the ADLs. Spinal wellness should be taken into consideration from early aging with prediction, prevention, and personalization. Thus we would like to develop a comprehensive program for assessing and managing the normality of spinal structure under the spinal wellness program

Statistical analysis

Statistical analysis was done using SPSS version 25 was used to generate graphs and tables.

Variable was assessed for normality. For that value of skewness, kurtosis, histogram, and Shapiro-Wilk test was used.

For the normal distribution, the value of skewness and kurtosis should be between -1.96 to +1.96 and the value for the Shapiro-Wilk test should be greater than 0.05.

Data were normally distributed so the paired T-test (parametric) was used.

The level of significance was considered less than 0.05, the confidence interval was kept at 95%.

Discussion :

Above study demonstrated that stretching exercises targeting the neck muscles trapezius, scalene, sternocleidomastoid significantly improve neck range of motion and increase neck functions among healthy individuals. When you stretch a muscle, your body responds by increasing blood flow to that area. The blood vessels around the targeted muscle widen to allow more blood to flow through, and your heart starts pumping more blood. Our results were in line with previous studies showing the benefit of stretching exercise for the neck condition.the current study was to evaluate the effectiveness of stretching on thoracolumbar range of motion (ROM), functional limitation in a healthy individual. Erector spine stretch, child pose stretching, cobra stretch, quadratus lumborum stretch, oblique muscle stretch one can demonstrate improvement on thoracolumbar ROM.

The current study was to evaluate the effectiveness of stretching on lumbar range of motion (ROM), functional limitation in a healthy individual. Erector spine stretch, child pose stretching, cobra stretch, quadratus lumborum stretch, oblique muscle stretch one can demonstrate improvement on lumbar ROM. When you stretch a muscle, your body responds by increasing blood flow to that area. The blood vessels around the targeted muscle widen to allow more blood to flow through, and your heart starts pumping more blood. Our results were in line with previous studies showing the benefit of stretching exercise for the back condition. v sit and reach test is one of the linear flexibility tests which helps to measure the extensibility of the hamstrings and lower back. In the post mean we can find the improvement in the flexibility in the hamstring and lower back. Because we did the back flexibility and strengthening exercise which helps in the back flexibility and mobility.

we find out to increase spine functional index score after this program, because our program is target the whole spine, and our program includes stretching and strengthening exercises which help in the improvement in spinal stability and mobility.above study demonstrated that strengthening exercise targeting the back and core muscles and exercise we done curl-ups, bilateral leg raise, superman, burd dog, side plank leg lift, Russian twist significantly improve back range of motion and increased back functions among healthy individuals. In the pre mean we find out lumbar flexion strength is more than lumbar extension, which causes muscle imbalance. And this is one of the reasons for back pain, so in this wellness program, we fix it.in the measurement of the curvature of the spine we find the subject is affected by poor posture that’s why they have kyphosis, increase lumbar lordosis, and some have a flat back syndrome. When the person’s lumbar lordosis is increase so they have tightness in the back and weakness the abdominal muscle, the body’s posture affects by the kinetic chain, and time our comprehensive program helps in the improvement in the spinal stability and mobility, after the program, we have seen a significant change in the curvature of the spine.

Conclusion:

In context to result and discussion spinal wellness program must be taken into consideration in the early age of life within the lifestyle modification to prevent spine-related disease and disorder such comprehensive spinal wellness program can be prescribed to the community for health and wellness.However, further study is needed to evaluate the efficacy of the present spinal wellness program with available therapeutic plans for understanding changes between the groups.
