This popular hip stretch is actually hurting your lower back. When an assistant applies pressure to your thoracic spine, it often forces your lumbar spine into flexion. This rounding puts stress on your discs and negates the hip-opening benefits. Instead, focus on hinging from the hips with a straight spine. 😮 Send this to a friend who needs to see this before their next stretch session. #wellness #fitness #health #hipopener #flexibilitygoals #assistedstretch #mobilitytraining #correctiveexercise #posturecorrection #yogainjury
