http://devchengkalath.com
The Basic Bridge Physical Therapy Exercise Described by Toronto Physiotherapist Dev Chengkalath
An important component in low back pain rehabilitation is to stabilize the spine and pelvis while mobilizing the hips.
The basic bridge is an excellent Exercise that accomplishes both the above goals.
Start by lying on your back, both knees bent and your hands by your sides.
From this position, brace your abdominal muscles without pushing your belly out or sucking it in. Basically, keep your stomach tight.
Contract your buttocks as you lift your hips off the ground and drive them towards the ceiling. Don’t let your pelvis shift side to side.
Focus on keeping your torso in the same position throughout the movement while hinging exclusively through your hips. Don’t sag or move through your back at all.
While squeezing through your glutes, try to keep your hamstrings or back of your thighs as relaxed as possible.
Slowly lower your buttocks back to the ground under control, with all movement taking place through the hips.
