[If you have not done so already, please first view Intro video #9 for precautions & contraindications. Thanks.)

This stretch is found in the book “Stretch to Win” by Ann & Chris Frederick on page 128. It targets the large extrinsic muscles & fascia around the low back & sacrum as well as the smaller intrinsics called the rotatores & multifidi.

It is recommended that you do the previous 4 stretches posted here in Vimeo (the "Core 4") before you do this stretch if your low back is particularly tight, stiff or sore. To get the best results, we recommend never to hold your stretches but rather keep slowly moving by exhaling on the stretch & inhaling on the release.

Happy stretching!
