The Phalanx is particularly vulnerable anywhere except the front. One tactic that seems to work is to slowly flank the enemy is to form your troops in a slight...

Most people don't truly understand how muscles work and their relationship to the spinal column, so don't fully understand their relationship to spine health. The spinal column is a delicately balanced stack of vertebrae and discs that are held in their proper locations and orientations by muscles, and muscles are only capable of pulling (being in tension), they are not capable of pushing (being in compression). So in order for the various muscle groups to effectively do their job of keeping the finely balanced stack of vertebrae and discs in place, they are always exerting a small degree of "balanced" tension on the vertebrae which in turn exert modest compressional forces on the discs.
