The standing lumbar extension exercise helps restore movement and reduce stiffness in the lower back. By gently arching the spine while standing, it promotes spinal mobility, eases discomfort from prolonged sitting, and supports healthy posture. This movement is commonly included in rehabilitation programs for back pain and as a quick mobility break during daily activities.
- Stand with your hands in the small of your back.
- Begin to lean backwards, within comfortable limits.
- As you progress through the repetitions, continue easing into the range of motion available to you.
- Repeat as per Physiotherapist guidelines.
