Exercise 2
Lie on the floor using the
hands to assist with the bend, arch the back so that the head moves towards
the seat and tries to touch it and tighten to a 1-2-3-4-5 count. Try to
get the head towards the seat.
Now bring the feet up and
to a 1-2-3-4-5 count arch the back a little more with each count trying
to get the feet to touch the head and later, the shoulders. After each
five count have a 5 count to relax in a loose position 5 then repeat the
exercise for 10 repeats.
Bring one foot up and grasp
it. To a 1-2-3-4-5 count arch the back a little more and pull the foot
a little more across the shoulder. Relax to a 5 count loosely in the first
position and repeat with the other leg. Do this exercise 5 times with each
leg.
We are working towards being
able to grasp the foot and then pull across the shoulder as above.
