In this exercise I will show you an exercise that I have shown you earlier for loosening the upper back for fast lower back pain relief but this time I will use a yoga strap. You can use a regular belt from the closet or you can buy a yoga strap from my site, or use your own yoga strap. I lie on my back flat on the table, or sticky mat, or yoga mat, or on the floor, and I take the strap; take it down around my ankles. When you lie on your back, you don’t want to be on a too soft of a surface; you want to be on a pretty firm surface such as this table. Now, my knees are bent; my feet are straight, not facing outward or inward, and flat on the table. I generally do this on the floor but today I’m doing it on a table. The strap is up close around my ankles, at the base of my ankles right at the top of my feet. The flat part of the yoga strap is on my skin, so it does not twist and cut into my skin when I tighten it. Now, remember, in order for me to perform this exercise I’m going to be turning my arms outwards, my palms facing outwards, to open up this chest and allow the upper back and the chest to open and lengthen and release, because that’s my goal here, so that I can find uniformity in the functionality of the spine, the movement of the spine. So the bottom part of the spine, where the low back pain is, doesn’t have to move too much like it normally does. Now, I reach for the ends of the strap at my ankles, and grab the strap, and I turn my hands outwards, clenched palms gripping the ends of the strap facing outwards, to open up my chest. And then I look at the ceiling, as I arch my back. I don’t want my neck to be turned sideways as I might damage my neck, and I don’t want you to get hurt either. Then I push my weight down to my feet. I push through my feet, and I start to lift my buttocks. What I’m doing is I’m basically cantilevering my up and on to my shoulders, and then I come back down. And then I go a little higher. Notice here that I don’t go very high when I first start doing this exercise; this is the level where I start. But as I do this more and more times, slowly; I wouldn’t really advice that you do it faster than normal. Just push into the feet, pushing yourself up gradually higher than your shoulders, keeping your knees parallel, and relaxing your neck so that you can get mobility in the upper back.
