BACK EXERCISES PAGE 3
 

Stand with hands against wall, left leg approximately 18 inches behind right foot, keep heel flat on floor and left knee straight. Slowly bend forward until you feel the stretch behind the calf. Hold 3 to 5 seconds. Release tension and repeat 3 to 5 times. Repeat with opposite leg.

Lie flat on floor, hands clasped behind neck, knees bent, feet flat on floor. Tighten buttocks and at the same time lift head and shoulders 2 to 4 inches off floor, without pulling on neck. Hold 3 to 5 seconds. Repeat 5 times or as recommended.
 

Do not overdo these exercises particularly after an injury or prolonged period of inactivity. Start by trying the movements slowly and carefully. If the exercise causes some mild discomfort lasting a few minutes, do not be alarmed. This discomfort will lessen as your muscles become stronger. But, if pain is more than mild and continues for more than 15 to 20 minutes, discontinue exercising and phone Lynne Lynne Carr Columbus, D.O. While exercising, wear loose, comfortable clothing. Exercise on a hard, non-slick surface covered with a thin mat. If Lynne Carr Columbus, D.O. has asked you to do these exercises in a particular order, follow her instructions.

Painlessly enjoy what you love doing most.
