For our last week of spinal mobility month, we are mobilizing our low backs by isolating lumbar spine movement. We are also trying a functional balance exercise that incorporates spinal twisting.

Joint Health Month – Week One
All month long we are going to be focusing on keeping your joints happy and healthy (and hopefully, creak-free).
This first week, we are working on the lumbar spine. Need some mobility in that area? Try this first exercise to get it moving. Need some stability? Try the second exercise to turn on those low back stabilizers and give your spine some support. Want to have a healthy back? Do both. 😜
Spine Month – Week Three
This week we are focusing on the lumbar spine, or low back. The first stretch helps open up the sides of the low back while the second exercise provides some gentle movement to the low back while activating the core.
