Spine stiffness is a condition where the back or neck feels rigid and difficult to move, often due to muscle tension, poor posture, degenerative changes, or inflammatory conditions. It may occur after prolonged sitting, injury, or as part of age-related spinal degeneration. Stiffness can limit daily activities, cause discomfort, and sometimes indicate underlying conditions like spondylosis or ankylosing spondylitis. Physiotherapy helps by restoring flexibility, reducing pain, and improving spinal alignment and strength.
