Lateral flexion with transverse plane rotation opens entire side flank and feels amazing!
This is a whole body exercise. Using the arm as a driver laterally reach from knee to overhead and externally rotate. This creates trunk rotation and in this demonstration a weight is used to create tension and load. Feet are in a sagittal plane stance which prepositions the pelvis in such a way that the load will be different on the facets of the left side of the spine vs the right. The chain reaction goes down to the hips, knees, ankles and of course the feet. The chain reaction also goes up through the thoracic spine, neck and head. Test the exercise with no weight to gage range of motion and balance.
After being run over by a car, this dog had a broken neck, a broken pelvis, and a broken femur. The doctor said he would never walk again. He is my miracle dog. He is my joy. This dog has the biggest heart I have ever seen. I rehabbed him not having any diagnostics. I adopted him from the pound so there was nothing. He was in the list for euthanizing. I didn’t know he couldn’t do it. The dog didn’t know he couldn’t do it. Therefore he did it! He walked! Now he runs, jumps and plays to his heart’s content. I love my miracle dog!
