Standing Spinal Rotation
Instructions
- Stand tall near a wall
- Step forward with the foot nearest the wall – about 12 inches
- Rotate your torso towards the wall
- Use your hands on the wall to actively assist your rotation
- When you are as far as you can go, press into the wall with your hands and, gently (10-25% effort), reverse the rotational force in the other direction and resist with your hands
- Take a deep breath, and as you let it out, reverse the rotational direction again and see if you can go deeper into your initial rotation.
- Repeat the process 3 times, and return to your initial position
- Turn 180 degrees and repeat to the other side
