  • For the client with a shoulder dysfunction McKenzie exercises may not be a viable option. Possibly trying this same activity in standing by placing the hands on the hips and gently bending backwards. If you have balance issues the standing activity may not work for you.

  • You're a moron. Just so people know, "physio" is also what people call themselves when all they have is a bachelors and work under people with professional degrees. Flexion and rotational torque movements are generally what CAUSES disc herniations. If you might remember, the lumbar spine is naturally in a lordotic curve and flexion will compress the spine and move the disc posteriorly, putting more pressure on the nerve root.
