Child’s Pose + Twist

Description

From Child’s Pose, with your buttocks toward your heels and your forehead on the floor, slide one arm underneath the other, palm facing the ceiling, so that the side of your face and your shoulder come down to the floor. Then press into the hand that remains in front to increase the rotation of your spine and create space in your upper back. Hold this position for the duration indicated by your physical therapist, breathing into the side of your torso that is stretching. Then slowly return to the starting position and repeat on the opposite side.
