Exercise Ball Exercises - Supine Back Extension

Starting Position	These exercise ball exercises require you to lie back over the exercise ball with the ball centred under your thoracic spine. Allow your back to gently arch over the ball. Reach arms overhead keeping your elbows straight.
Action	Hold this position.
Stretches	Abdominals, anterior spinal ligaments, hip flexors, latissimus dorsi, pecs
Physio Tips	Most of us spend out day sitting at a desk or computer, or repeatedly bending forward. This can result in shortening of the anterior spinal ligaments, hip flexors and pectoral muscles. It is normal to feel a stretch but you should not feel pain. Do not do this stretch if you experience pain. Consult a physical therapist.

Hold this stretch 20 to 30 seconds and repeat 3 times.
