Is this for yourself or for a patient?
- HOW: Start by placing a peanut on the ground over your mid back. Your spine should be in the middle space of the peanut. While laying on the peanut, bend your knees up and put your feet flat on the ground. Clasp your hands together behind your head. Pull your head forward as your push into the ground with your feet lifting your hips. Hold that stretch for a few seconds and relax.
- FEEL: You should feel pressure in your mid back from the peanut as you lift your hips up.
- COMPENSATION: Make sure the middle space of the peanut is over your spine. Pull your neck as you lift your hips up, don’t keep your neck in a neutral position.
