Full Cobra

Exercise Overview

Full Cobra - McKenzie Exercise This is the Full Cobra, a mid-stage / subacute stage rehabilitative exercise that puts you into passive lumbar extension. The goal of this exercise is to centralize your lumbar discs to reduce sciatica and leg pain. This position is often a position of relief and is generally used on a as-needed basis to help to reduce disc herniation pain. If the full cobra position is intolerable, a regressed option is the Elbow Cobra.
