The segmental bridge strengthens the glutes and core while encouraging controlled movement through each level of the spine. By lifting the back off the floor one segment at a time, it promotes spinal mobility, improves coordination, and develops postural control. This variation is often used in rehabilitation to restore smooth, pain-free motion.
- Push through your feet to lift your bum up in the air.
- When lowering down, try to roll your spine down one segment/vertebrae at a time.
- This is a great way to re-introduce flexion/bending in a safe and comfortable position.
