Low Blood Pressure

Rising quickly from low positions can cause a sudden drop in blood pressure, leading to dizziness or fainting.

Move slowly between positions, keep eyes open, and rest against a wall if dizziness arises.

Back Injury / Back Pain

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

Limit the depth of the backbend, engage the core actively before moving, and avoid any movement that creates pinching in the lumbar spine.

Knee Injury

Deep flexion or rotation at the knee can strain ligaments, meniscus, or cartilage, especially in a compromised joint.

Never push into pain; use a folded blanket under or between the knees and reduce the depth of the bend.

Shoulder Injury

Overhead loading and extreme shoulder rotation can impinge the subacromial space and overload rotator cuff tendons.

Draw the shoulder blades together without externally rotating aggressively; place hands on blocks to reduce range.
