Thigh Pull Lumbar Distraction

THIGH PULL LUMBAR DISTRACTION

This is a low back assisted stretch exercise that uses a heavy pullup assist band. Start by looping a pullup assist band around your thighs and anchoring it to a stable object. Lie down on your back face up with your hips flexed to 90 degrees. Hold your knees with your hands to allow the muscles of the hips to relax. Relax the muscles of the abdomen and low back to allow the band to pull the pelvis towards the band’s anchor point.
