General Guidelines for taking care of your body (non specific, general help only)
- If you have a neck issue, use a rolled up towel or pillow and keep your head down, and avoid twisting neck. Also check out shoulder protocol below and neck issues often are coupled to shoulder also.
- If you have a lower back issue- keep your back flat, no arching in extension. Lower the load of your legs to feet on floor or knees all the way into chest, avoid two long straight legs.
- If you have a shoulder issue- do not take arms up past shoulder height, avoid circling arms.
- If you have hip issues – don’t bring hips past 90 degrees flexion.
- If you have knee issues – don’t pull on knees, hold hands behind knees, and also avoid knee flexion past 90 degrees. Avoid kneeling.
- If you have wrist issues – avoid hands and knees exercises or work on your forearms.
- Osteoporosis or Osteopaenia- we advise you working with a straight, non rounded, mid/upper back, so modify as necessary.
- For any exercise on the day- if in doubt, leave it out.
