  Did your symptoms improve or did you feel more balanced? 

As you hold this position, you may feel your low back begin to relax or your body start to settle.

Your breathing may change, and you may notice a sense of more balance through your hips and pelvis.

This isn’t just a passive position—it’s active work.

This position helps reduce tension in the low back while allowing your body to begin restoring alignment and balance.

If your low back tends to feel tight or overworked, this is a great place to start.

While your low back is able to relax, you’re also actively doing work by squeezing the block or pillow between your knees. That engagement helps bring your hip flexors online, allowing your body to redistribute effort more effectively.

So even though it may feel like a release, your body is actually working in a more balanced way.

This is a great place to start—but real progress comes from understanding what your body specifically needs.
