Flexion Position Exercise

How to do this exercise:

• Lie on your back with your feet against the wall and knees bent to less than 90 degrees. Your buttocks should be about 6 inches from the wall, with your knees positioned over your chest.
• Hold a block or pillow between your knees, applying constant pressure.
• Relax your arms out to the sides with palms facing up, allowing your back and hips to settle into the floor. Hold this position for 4 minutes.

Why I love this exercise:
This position helps your low back relax, transferring the work to your hip flexors. It’s a great exercise if you're dealing with low back pain.

Did your symptoms improve or did you feel more balanced? Awesome! If so, you just experienced the power of postural therapy.
