Supported Seated Lumbar Flexion Stretch

3 × 20s
The posture scan does not measure thoracic kyphosis, lordosis, or flat-back posture directly. This exercise may still help mobility and strength that support overall alignment — it is wellness education, not a diagnosis.
How to do it
- Sit on the floor with knees bent and feet forward.
- Hold behind the thighs for light support and gently tilt the pelvis backward.
- Allow a small, comfortable rounding through the lower back without pulling forcefully with the arms.
- Hold only if the position creates a mild muscular stretch without pain or radiating symptoms.
Form cues
- Use a smaller seated pelvic tilt instead of leaning forward if needed.
- Do not use this to self-treat acute back pain without assessment.
- Stop for pain, numbness, tingling or symptoms travelling into a leg.
