The major function of the vertebral column is protection of the spinal cord; it also provides stiffening for the body and attachment for the pectoral and pelvic girdles and many muscles. In humans an additional function is to transmit body weight in walking and standing.

The vertebral column, also known as the spinal column, is the central axis of the skeleton in all vertebrates. The vertebral column provides attachments to muscles, supports the trunk, protects the spinal cord and nerve roots and serves as a site for haemopoiesis.

Almost anyone can learn various contortionist moves, but there does seem to be a genetic component which makes these moves much easier for some people. Whether you can learn enough to become a contortionist is probably something you would have to try to know for sure. How much money do contortionists make?

Contortion should NOT hurt. You will feel the stretch as you push yourself to be better and as your warming up but if it hurts you’re doing something wrong. Like most things if your not careful it can cause injuries but as long as your safe and don’t go to hard to fast you’ll be fine.

I’m a 12 years old contortionist that just started 6 months ago and has already done many think that freak the hell out my friends 😂 if you’re looking to be a performer, 11 years old is a good age to start. Many performers have started contorion at the age of 4, but 11 years old is not even close to being to old.

You’re definitely not too old. Like others said, your bones maybe harder but it only means it will take you a little longer to achieve flexibility. The ability to be extremely flexible is also dependent on your genes so other than that one factor, nothing can stop you from being a professional contortionist.
