Here are seven easy, at-home exercises you can do to support your spine.

- Plank Pose: Engaging multiple muscle groups, the plank pose is an effective way to strengthen the core and support the entire spinal column.
- Bird Dog Exercise: By extending one arm and the opposite leg while balancing on all fours, you can enhance stability and promote coordination, which contributes to a healthier, more resilient spine.
- Bridge Pose: This yoga posture targets the lower back, glutes, and hamstrings, offering a fantastic opportunity to fortify the muscles that play a crucial role in spinal support.
- Superman Exercise: Named after the iconic hero, this exercise involves lying face down and lifting the arms and legs simultaneously to engage the entire back, which can help build strength and stability.
