Crook Lying Lumbar Traction
Exercise Overview
This is a low back assisted stretch exercise that uses a heavy pullup assist band. Start by looping a pullup assist band around one thigh and anchoring it to a stable object. Lie down on your back face up in crook lying position (one leg with the knee bent and the other leg straight). Relax the muscles of the abdomen and low back to allow the band to pull the pelvis towards the band’s anchor point.
