Important Information
The primary structural support for your trunk (torso) is provided by your back muscles. These muscles enable you to move your head, neck, shoulders, arms, and legs, among other parts of your body. You can bend over, twist, turn your head, and extend your back thanks to the coordinated action of your back muscles.
