The lumbar rotation mobility exercise is designed to gently improve movement through the lower back and spine. By rotating the trunk in a controlled manner, it helps reduce stiffness, ease tension, and promote healthy spinal motion. This exercise is useful for maintaining flexibility, supporting rehabilitation after back issues, and preparing the body for activities that require rotational movement.
- Lie on your back with your knees bent so your feet are flat on the ground.
- Keeping your knees together, gently rock them to one side.
- Simultaneously look the other direction from where your knees are falling.
- Repeat this in the other direction for the prescribed amount or as otherwise instructed by your physiotherapist.
