Lower Back and Pelvis

Exercise 10 – Stretch of Low Back and Pelvic Muscles

This exercise sequence aims to stretch the lumbar, buttock and rear thigh muscles, then to improve and maintain the mobility of the lumbar spine and pelvic (sacro-iliac) joints.

Exercise 11 – Stretch of Buttock Muscles

This exercise aims to stretch the large vertical buttock muscles

Exercise 12 – Pelvic Mobility

This exercise aims to improve and maintain the mobility of the pelvic (sacro-iliac) and lumbar spine joints. It can easily be performed on a regular basis at work.

Exercise 13 – Abdominal Core Strength

This exercise aims to increase and maintain the strength of the transverse abdominals, affording better “core stability” to the lower back. It is in our view more relevant than the “plank” exercise.

Exercise 14 – Lower Back Core Strength (Superman)

This exercise aims to increase and maintain the strength of the rear lumbar muscles. The activation of the abdominals aims to preserve the lower back from over-extension injuries.

Exercise 15 – Stretch of Lumbar and Pelvic Muscles

This exercise aims to enable a relaxing and healthy distraction of every joint from the lower back through to the ankle. It is as useful for athletes as it is for people suffering from osteo-arthritis.
