Tabletop Stretch
What It Does: helps align the spine while releasing tension in the shoulders, back, and legs
How To Do It:
- Find something sturdy you can place your hands on (like a tabletop, thick tree branch, fence, etc.)
- Keep your hands on the object and step your feet back until your hips are in line with your feet
- Keep your back flat and parallel to the ground
- Make sure to keep your core engaged by pulling your belly button to the back of your spine. This fill protect your back from further discomfort.
- Keep your legs straight (or with your knees slightly bent) to feel a nice stretch up and down the back sides of the legs
- Keep your arms as straight as possible to get a good stretch down your arms, torso, and upper back
- Hold for at least 30 seconds and come back up
- Repeat as much as necessary
