Cat Cow Stretch Demonstrated by Pelvic Physiotherapist Jess Clancy

This is an awesome exercise for back pain to gently work some pain-free motion back into the body!

  1. Start on all fours with hands underneath the shoulders.
  2. Lift the head and chest simultaneously while letting the stomach sink and the lower back arch to perform the cat. INHALE as you perform this motion.
  3. Round the back and let the head and neck drop while trying to get the head and pelvis as close as possible. EXHALE as you perform this motion.

*Repeat 10-15 times

*Do NOT force the end range of motion as this is NOT a stretch. Move fluidly back and forth between the motions with your breath.

*This should not be a painful movement.
