Ways to adjust it

  • Bridge: Supported Sacrum
  • Reduce lift height
  • Small range, stop with symptom spread
  • Mini bridge
  • Adjust foot position on the chair
  • Small range
  • Stop if symptoms spread
  • Head stays relaxed on the floor
  • Arms relaxed at the sides

If this one is too much today

Try the gentler version instead. It asks less of you and does much the same work.

Other ways to do this movement

Every version below is the same movement set up differently, so one of them usually suits.

Before you try it

Move within a range that stays comfortable. Stop if this brings on sharp pain, dizziness, or symptoms that travel down an arm or a leg, and speak to a clinician before repeating it.

One movement is a start. A session is the thing.

A few questions about your body and how it is today, and Vinys builds a session around it, including which movements to leave out.
