Twisted Torso Stretch

A basic back stretch that improves rotation through the whole torso and gives a light stretch to the buttock as well.

Flex the hip to 90 degrees and then pull across the body. Stretch out the arm on the same side as the hip being stretched. Turn your neck to look at the outstretched hand as long as this doesn't cause neck pain.

Make sure your neck is supported by a pillow as shown.

Hold the stretch for 30-45 seconds.
