Lightly Weighted Spinal Flexion

Lumbar and thoracic flexion is a natural movement of the spine that, if avoided, could lead to the loss of spinal mobility and functional strength with the low back and pelvis. Therefore, increasing mobility through LIGHT resistance exercises is a good idea to prepare the body to have the functional strength to stabilize in spinal flexion. In order to avoid too much shear force on the vertebral discs, SLOWLY progress the resistance used and ROM you move through.
