Good question! The lumbar spine is another name for the lower back (or the small of the back), the five vertebrae just above the sacrum in the pelvis. See my post “Safe Body Mechanics 1: Why” at http://synergy-pt.net/pt-for-body-and-soul/safe-body-mechanics-why.

I like so much the flower in the pot in the pelvis rising through the spine and any kind of tail I want swishing along the ground. Feet and tail feel like a tripod in motion balancing ever so subtly. This morning I was weeding my rampant garden; today my tail feels like long grasses.

Thank you for the memory mediation.

Question? Which part is the lumbar spine? The small of the back or over the shoulders where I tend to hunch?
