Back Injury / Back Pain

Spinal flexion, extension, or rotation under load can compress vertebral discs or strain the paraspinal muscles.

Initiate the twist from the upper spine and ribs rather than forcing from the waist; keep both sitting bones grounded.

Disc Herniation

Spinal flexion and rotation under load increase intradiscal pressure and can push herniated material toward spinal nerves.

Initiate the rotation from the upper thoracic spine; avoid forceful lumbar rotation.

Pregnancy

Deep twists, abdominal compression, and lying flat on the back can restrict blood flow or cause discomfort as pregnancy progresses.

Twist from the upper thoracic spine only, opening the chest rather than compressing the abdomen; use a chair for support.
