Long Sitting Slump Flossing

  • The patient is sitting with a belt or towel wrapped around the balls of the feet and is instructed to pull their trunk forward as far as they can while keeping their head up.
  • Then instruct the patient to drop their head down as they point their toes down and hold momentarily.
  • Then have the patient reverse these movements by raising their head up as they pull their toes up and hold momentarily.
  • Have the patient repeat these back and forth flossing movements of the nervous system 8-10 times.
  • When finished, always remember to instruct the patient to lie on their back with their knees up and feet flat on the table and rock the pelvis toward 12:00 and 6:00, 10-12 times to release any tension across the low back.
