Purpose:
To reduce lumbar disc-related symptoms (e.g., centralize leg pain), improve lumbar mobility, and counteract prolonged flexion postures.
Description:
Stand tall with feet hip-width apart. Place hands on the lower back with fingers pointing down. Gently press your hips forward while leaning your upper body backward, extending through the lumbar spine. Pause briefly at end-range, then return to standing. Repeat 10 times or as prescribed.
Equipment:
None
Tips:
Focus on movement from the low back, not the hips. Stop if pain worsens or symptoms radiate further down the leg.
