How to do it

Start on your hands and knees, with your hands under your shoulders and your knees under your hips. Slowly round your back up towards the ceiling. Then slowly let it sag gently down. Move only as far as is comfortable. Keep breathing.

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