Is this for yourself or for a patient?
- HOW: Start by lying on your back with your knees bent and your feet flat on the ground. Bring your knees and feet together and your arms out to the side on the ground. Gently let your knees fall from one side to the other. As your knees go out further you can let your hips come up. Make sure this is a pain free range of motion.
- FEEL: You should feel a stretch in your low back and hip.
- COMPENSATION: Don’t let your shoulder blades come off of the ground, keep your upper back and arms on the ground. Keep your knees together as you rotate from side to side.
