3 Point Child Pose Exercise

3 Point Child Pose Exercise by Physiotherapist Chad Beacom

This exercise is great for lengthening your spine, relaxing your back muscles and relieving any tension in your pelvis. I like this variation of the traditional yoga child pose as you can do it right at the desk and can be an alternative for people with ankle or knee issues. 

How-To Steps:

1. Start in a sitting position with an exercise ball or rolling chair in front of you. 
2. Reach forward with your hands and hold the stretch for 20-30 seconds.
3. Next, reach to one side with both hands and hold the stretch. Then, reach to the other side and hold the stretch.

*Never do an exercise that causes you pain*
