Advent Calendar Day 22 – Home Exercise Programme – Wall Glide

Here is another one to add to your Home Exercise Programme – a great exercise to maintain lower back health, especially if you spend a lot of time seated at a desk.

Like the 4 sign exercise, this should be done at a low grade level and you must not perform it aggressively. Start gently and if you experience any negative symptoms after performing this exercise, please find a qualified biomechanic coach or trainer to carry out an assessment on you.

1. Lock your elbow into your body to help keep the upper body still
2. Lean against the wall with your feet about a foot away from the wall
3. Gently drive the hip to the wall and return to the start position
4. Do 8-12 repetitions, 4 times on each side, 4 times a day
