Urdhva Dhanurasana for Low Back Pain

Mar 09, 2019

It is possible to avoid low back pain in backbends, but it does require strength through to back side of the body.

* use a block to keep the legs engaged

* isometrically contract the hamstrings

* activate gluteus medius

* make space for shoulders

* breathe into the chest

Does this work for you? Let me know!
