Movement is an effective tool to help rehabilitate lumbar spine injuries. Moving in the correct directions is vital for each condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Execute the Williams Flexion Exercises <\/a>to prevent and rehabilitate lumbar spine conditions such as lumbar sprain\/strain and facet syndrome. These exercises will help stretch the erector spinae<\/a>, quadratus lumborum<\/a> and hamstrings<\/a> muscles while strengthening the rectus abdominis<\/a>, internal obliques, external obliques<\/a>, transverse abdominis<\/a>, hip flexors<\/a>, quadriceps<\/a> and multifidi<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Perform the McKenzie Protocol Exercises<\/a> to help rehabilitate lumbar spine conditions which affect the Intervertebral Disc<\/a>.

If an exercise elicits or intensifies symptoms, stop immediately and find a viable substitute. Increase intensity in small gradual calculated increments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Disclaimer: Viewing this video does not take the place of seeing a medical professional, receiving proper training in the medical profession or working with a fitness professional.
