More Back Bridging for Back Physical Therapy

Hi I'm Monica and I'm going to show you another version of bridging. Go ahead and lie back down on the floor, hips and knees bent, and what we're going to do is have you come up into the bridge and just like we were doing for pelvic tilts, we're going to have you move your arms. So, again, get nice and comfortable, go ahead and raise your butt off the ground. Checking to make sure that your knees, your hips, and shoulders are all lined up. You'll be squeezing your abs, your butt, and your legs, your back, to keep everything there. Once you're nice and firm in that position, go ahead and start lifting your arms one at a time, making sure you're breathing when doing all of this. Keep them nice and straight. Make sure when you start getting tired, go ahead and take a break. When you start feeling yourself sinking back down, go ahead and take a break, and then you can come right back up and start going all over again. So nice and slow with the arm movements.
