ALLUNGAMENTO della CATENA POSTERIORE degli Arti inferiori da supino

This exercise is indicated for selectively stretching the posterior chain of the lower limbs, avoiding typical compensations in the lumbar region. It is indicated for a variety of conditions, from postural alterations with lumbar adjustment due to posterior chain retraction, to "adherent nerve root" syndromes, and certain postural-related mechanical low back pain. There are several variations, each more suitable for each of the conditions listed. It is generally a risk-free and side-effect-free exercise. In any case, as a good rule of thumb, if you experience any particular symptoms while performing it, contact your physical therapist. Good luck Dr. Marco Segina
