Prone Press Ups
Prone Press Ups
To mobilize an FRS dysfunction and increase lumbar extension:
The patient is lying on their stomach with their hands placed under their shoulders. The patient is instructed to attempt to press up using only their arms and not their back muscles.
They try to keep their hips resting on the table as they straighten their elbows as far as possible. Instruct them to bring their shoulders down and back as they press up.
Repeat 10 times.
