How to do it

Start on your hands and knees with a straight back. Slowly stretch one arm forward and the opposite leg back, keeping your back still and your hips level. Hold briefly, then return and change sides. One repetition is both sides.

If an exercise hurts more than you expect, stop and contact your clinician.
