@drraheem0: A Simple physiotherapy extension exercise that helps improve spinal mobility, reduce stiffness, and support posture correction. ✅ Helps with: • Low back pain • Lumbar stiffness • Disc-related pain • Posture correction 👉Bourdillon and Day have advocated doing this movement in the prone lying position to hyperextend the spine. They called the resulting position the Sphinx position. 👉The position is held for 10 to 20 seconds to see if symptoms occur or,if present, become worse. 🔹 How to do it: • Lie on your stomach • Place elbows under shoulders • Rest on forearms • Gently lift chest up • Keep pelvis relaxed on the surface • Hold and breathe normally ⚠️ Stop if pain increases and perform only within comfort. #SphinxPosition #ProneOnElbows #Physiotherapy #LowBackPainRelief #McKenzieExercise
