The torso extends from the top of your shoulders to your buttocks. Injury to this part of the body usually involves the back. The back is the most commonly injured part of the body. Back injuries are often a result of poor lifting procedures, or lifting objects that are too heavy or awkward.
Other parts of the torso that can be injured, excluding internal organs, are the chest, sides and stomach area. Injuries to these parts are usually strains, burns, contusions and lacerations.
