Transversospinalis
The transversospinalis is a group of muscles located in the back, specifically between the vertebrae of the spine. This muscle group includes three main components: the semispinalis, multifidus, and rotatores. These muscles play a crucial role in stabilizing the spine and facilitating movements such as rotation and extension.
These muscles originate from the transverse processes of the vertebrae and insert onto the spinous processes of the vertebrae above. By connecting adjacent vertebrae, the transversospinalis helps maintain posture and supports the overall function of the spinal column. Proper functioning of these muscles is essential for a healthy back and mobility.
