Full Spinal Extension

A deep full spinal extension can produce many benefits for those suffering from chronic low back pain such as herniated discs, bulging discs, sciatica, muscle strains, SI joint pain and other injuries resulting from too much lumbar flexion. Functional motions such as bending backwards should always be performed while recruiting the muscles of the core including the abdominals, erector spinae and lower gluteal fibres. Biomechanics & muscular recruitment of abdominals muscles while simultaneously engaging the gluteal muscles during pure spinal extension takies this exercise one step deeper into core conditioning. Balanced connection of all the muscles surrounding the centre of gravity combined with ideal joint alignment are key features of the GSRP functional post-rehab workout. The core muscles connect to lengthen the spine and stabilize the rib cage on the pelvis, and so, the risk of workout-related injuries decrease considerably, and the benefits of performing these exercises are maximized.
