My Spine Explained
Lie flat on your back and bend your legs to a 90-degree angle. Place your
hands on your stomach to locate your stomach muscles, contract them and
then lift your hips off the ground. Repeat this 10 times, holding your hips in
the air for 3 seconds each time.
Get into position on all fours on the ground and proceed to lift your right arm
in line with your neck. Now lift your left leg up in line with your lower back,
remember to keep the knee as straight as possible. Hold this position for 5
seconds and repeat 10 times. Do the same with the left arm and right leg.
These exercises can be done once to twice a day. Remember that if any of the
exercises cause you any pain, to stop that particular exercise, an ask your
Physiotherapist about it at your next session.
