Spinal Stretch

1

Bend your right knee and place your right foot flat on the floor on the outside of your left knee.

2

Place your right hand on the floor behind you for support, then twist your torso to the right and wrap your left arm around your right knee.

3

Maintain this position for 20 to 30 seconds, focusing on keeping your spine straight and rotating from your core.

4

Slowly release the twist, straighten your right leg, and repeat the exercise on the other side.

Pro Tip

Maintain Proper Form: One common mistake people make is not maintaining the correct form while performing the spinal stretch. Your back should be straight, and you should feel the stretch along your spine, not in your arms or legs. If you feel strain elsewhere, you're likely not in the right position. Don't Rush: Another common mistake is rushing through the stretch. It's not about how quickly you can do it, but how effectively. Take your time and focus on feeling the stretch in your spine. Don't Overstretch: It's important not to push your body too hard when performing the spinal stretch. If you feel pain, stop
