LUMBAR CAT CAMEL

This is a lumbar spine mobility exercise and is used to dissociate movement between the mid and low back. Start in a quadruped position (hands and knees) and focus on isolating the movement to the low back by minimizing movement in the thoracic spine. Place both hands palms flat on the floor just below your shoulders. Alternate between flexing and extending your low back and pelvis.
