∙ 14y agoYou need muscles in your back so that you can move your back, and the rest of your body. The muscles on your back connect to a bunch of places, like the hips, shoulders, ribs, etc. They let you twist around and basically let you function as a normal human being. The muscles over your ribs are particularly important- they pull your ribcage out as you breathe, allowing you to live!
