What is the multifidus muscle?
The multifidus is a muscle in the deepest layer of the back. It runs on either side along the back of the vertebrae. This muscle helps control and protect the spine. When you lift something or rotate your trunk, the multifidus holds the spine steady. If the multifidus weakens, the spine moves too much, which can lead to injury.
