Following on from a previous post discussing Fryette’s Laws of motion and integrating this into an exercise to improve spinal mobility through motion osteopathy. Below is a video example demonstrating Type 1 Spinal Motion (Sidebending and rotation to opposite side) in an upright position with lunge. This movement pattern mimics gait in upright function and the use of small dumbbells has been added to advance the exercise for life in motion osteo. Regressing the exercise can be done by having the individual standing in a split squat stance (mimicking gait again) or in a split kneeling stance.
This exercise is great for those individuals who do not have any acute back pain and are looking to improve thoracic and lumbar spinal motion.
