That "helpful" partner stretch is wrecking your lower back. ❌ When an assistant applies downward pressure to your shoulders in a seated forward bend, it forces your thoracic spine to round. This completely bypasses the hamstring stretch and puts dangerous shear force on your lumbar discs.

Is this assisted hamstring stretch compromising the lumbar spine? For safe execution, the assistant applies gentle, sustained pressure to the mid-thoracic spine, not the lower back. This isolates the stretch through the hamstrings and posterior chain, promoting fascial release while protecting spinal integrity.
