Supine Lumbar Distraction
Exercise Overview
The supine lumbar distraction is a low back assisted stretch exercise that uses a heavy pullup assist band. Start by looping a pullup assist band around your waist and anchoring it to a stable object like a squat rack or band anchor. Lie down on your back in a face up position. Relax the muscles of the abdomen and low back to allow the band to pull the pelvis towards the band’s anchor point.
