Overview

The lumbar drape relaxes the low back muscles. The bolster helps facilitate the stretch in the lumbar region. If a bolster is not available you may roll up a small towel and place that under your hips.

Description

• Lying down, place a small foam roller sideway under the upper hips
• Slide the body down so that the foam roller moves slightly under the lower back
• Then straighten one leg at a time

Mistakes

• Keeping the head lifted
• Holding too much tension in the hips and trunk area
