Do This Excersise to Help Prevent Back Pain

This is one of the exercises we do when helping our patients at Kingston-upon-Thames.

Don't underestimate a floor bridge! Many people loading up with far too much weight these days, flaring ribs out and going into lumbar extension (arching back). ❌ - Sometimes it is best to get the basics right and concentrate on executing the exercise properly BEFORE adding weight. - Glute bridge is great exercise to strengthen/activate glutes which 99% of the time are a 'lazy' weak muscle. They also force the hips into extension which is great for those with tight hip flexors! - Tuck pelvis into posterior tilt (back flat into floor). ✅ - Ensure you keep glutes activated throughout whole range of movement even when coming down ! ✅ - Keep shoulders relaxed throughout ✅ Tag a friend who needs this 😃
