Bridging

• Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor
• Place your feet hip-width apart and gently contract your abdominal muscles to flatten your low back into the floor
• Keep your abdominals contracted and lift your hips up off the floor
• Press your heels into the floor for added stability
• Avoid pushing your hips too high, which can cause arching in your low back
• Keeping your abdominals tight helps prevent excessive arching in the low back
• Slowly lower yourself back to your starting position
• Complete the necessary repetitions as prescribed by your clinician
