| Description: | Back Extensors stretch, seated, with partner
- Can do folding over while sitting on a chair or sitting on the table
- Trainer positions self behind client to offer resistance to the isometric contraction of back with arms, resisting client’s attempt to extend spine. Do not place pressure with hands directly on spine (pressure on either side or across full back with forearms).
- Hold isometric contraction against trainer’s arms for 6 seconds.
- Relax back, flex spine, deepen the stretch slowly.
- Hold the stretch for 10-30 seconds depending on ability.
- Repeat until stretch is held for about 40 seconds.
- Trainer can move pressure to different areas of back (higher/lower)
- When engaging in any partner PNF, communication about pain/discomfort it crucial. Position the mirror to see the client’s face and pain should not be felt during the movement.
