If you have a history of injury, consult your healthcare provider before following the advice below. Although these movements may be appropriate for most populations, some chronic and acute situations may require a slightly different approach to rehabilitation.
If you feel you are better prepared to understand your movement, try this routine 3-4 times a week. During a few sessions, you should begin to notice a significant improvement in your mobility and overall back health.
1) Cat Cows
Application: 10–15 reps
Cues: Start on all fours with your hands under your shoulders. At the same time, lift your head and chest while lowering your abdomen and lower back to create a cat.
Roll your back and lower your head and neck and try to get your head and pelvis as far as possible. When lifting the spine, take a deep breath and breathe depressed. Take the time and don’t force the distance to move!
2) Thread the Needles
Application: 10 reps/side
Start with a quadruped. Reach down and over one arm for one exhalation. Once you have reached the maximum range of motion, return to your starting position and reach the second lane (Figure 2).
To stimulate movement through the neck, watch the moving hand with the eyes through. Complete 10 repetitions and then go to the other side.
3) Quadruped to Down Dog
Application: 10 reps
Start with a neutral quadruped. Slowly lower your hips and lower your chest to be in position number two. If you can’t access an end range where your heels on still on the floor, do not hesitate to lift it a little or bend your knees! Hold in the last position for 2-3 seconds and then slowly return to neutral in preparation for the next repetition.
Remember to start each repetition with a deep, relaxed breath.
4) Prone Bird Dog
Application: 5–8 reps/side
This exercise is similar to a normal bird dog, but this time you are working to extend the strength of your arms / legs from a perfectly forward position.
Start by lying on your stomach with your hands up. Then follow the opposite arm / leg and hold for 1-2 seconds before slowly starting.
Repeat and complete 5-8 repetitions per page. Don’t forget to breathe as you expand!
5) Lumbar Rocks
Application: 10–15 reps/side
Start by lying on your back with your knees bent about 90 degrees. Next, raise your hands behind your head and slowly rock your knees from side to side.
Start with a small range of motion and gradually increase the length of each repetition as it warms up. This is a great active way to move your lower back and pelvis.
