Focus Exercise Video SF: Bent Knee Opening
This video is one of the focus exercises for the week. Try to repeat it 2-3 times before our next class together.
Bent Knee Opening is a great Pilates exercise for people with spinal fusions because it’s done in a neutral spine, neutral pelvis so there’s no modifications needed. Bent Knee Opening is particularly helpful in informing us as to any rotation that may occur in the pelvis. It can assist people with spinal fusions in finding stability in neutral through the pelvis and low back.
Inspiring health and happiness!
