Slipped Disc – BWS Exercise 4

“In the supine position, place 2 tennis balls or a fascia roll in the thoracic spine area. One ball to the right and one ball to the left of the thoracic spine. The legs are slightly bent and the hands are crossed behind the head.

From this position, slowly bend and stretch your back in the area where the tennis balls exert pressure on the vertebrae; inhale when stretching, exhale when bending. “Variation” To reach further areas of the thoracic spine, lift the pelvis slightly off the floor and roll back and/or forth a little on the balls. Depending on your endurance/conduction level, the exercises for the herniated disc can be extended over the number of repetitions. Continue with the next exercise
