How to Standing Lumbar Flexion
Starting Position
1. Make sure to keep your back straight and avoid arching your lower back.
2. Do not bend forward too far; stop when you feel a slight stretch.
3. If you experience any pain or discomfort, stop the exercise and consult your physician.
Proper Form
1. Keeping your back straight, slowly bend forward from your hips.
2. As you bend forward, keep your hands on your hips and your head in a neutral position.
3. Allow your upper body to hang towards the floor and feel a slight stretch in your lower back.
4. Hold the stretch for 10-15 seconds.
5. Return to the starting position.
Breathing Technique
1. Inhale as you bend forward and exhale as you return to the starting position.
Precautions
1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and your hands on your hips.
2. Keep your back and neck in a neutral position with your chin tucked in slightly.
