Recovery Session with Dr Teddy Willsey #4
Low back pain recovery workout This recovery workout is near and dear to me. As lifters we spend a lot of time training spinal extension, and we tend to get really strong and sometimes dominant there. This is a program to help reverse some of those effects and help you continue to find spinal flexion and relief from the tightness that you can get from lifting. Breathing is an important aspect here. Start to pay attention to your breaths while you’re stretching. Later in the series we will get more in depth into breathing as well.
1. TRX/Rings Deep Squat Stretch x 10 reps + 5 deep breaths hold
2. Box Pigeon (figure 4) x 10 each side
3. Deep Lunge Stretch x 10 each side
4. Cat-Camel x 10
5. Quadruped Plank x 20-30 seconds
6. Modified Pigeon x 45 sec per side x 2 Hip Flexor Recovery/Prehab
All the best,
Teddy
