The seated pigeon twist helps strengthen and stretch the hips and lower back. There are many modifications you can do to accommodate different levels of agility.
- Start by sitting down on a surface that allows you to plant your feet flat on the floor.
- Cross your left ankle just above your right knee.
- Keeping your back straight and tall, slowly twist your right shoulder toward your left knee.
- Look over your left shoulder, but move slowly and stop immediately if you feel discomfort or pain.
- Hold the position for 30 seconds.
- Repeat on the opposite side.
Please speak to your provider before starting any new exercise regimen.
