Seated Stretches for the Spine - SFCC


To start the spinal seated stretches or spinal warm-ups we begin by sitting on a stable surface with both feet planted on the ground. From here we raise the arms in front of us and interlace or overlap the hands, hink “I dream of Jeannie” here. From here we look over our shoulder before following with our body creating rotation from the head to the hips before returning to neutral and repeating for the opposite direction. From here, while keeping our Jeannie posture, we laterally flex to each side feeling the stretch through the opposite side. Lastly we cover spinal flexion and extension while incorporating a breathing exercise. Fully exhale while allowing the arms to relax and reach down towards the ground before taking a slow deep breath in while rising back up, arching the back and squeezing the shoulder blades together. All parts of this exercise are 10 repetitions and should be done twice per day.
