Strengthening the back muscles on the T-BOW®
by AthensTrainers®
▪️Raise the head and torso into spinal extension
▪️Turning the arms outward activates the muscles between the shoulder blades, thus achieving a healthier posture.
▪️Keep the head in a straight line with the spine looking down.
▪️A slight extension of the torso is ok.
⛔️ Avoid:
▪️Sudden changes or excessive arching of the lumbar spine.
▪️Hyperextension of the head.
❗️Variations:
▪️Hands placed on the glutes.
▪️One hand on the glute and the other abducted with the thumb pointing upward.
▪️“Traffic cop” arms with torso lift.
▪️From tabletop position: opposite arm & leg.
▪️and more….
And why do we prefer to execute this exercise on the T-BOW®???
▪️Consider the support of the hands on the lateral of the T-BOW®, to release the load on the back and/or to force a bit its extension.
▪️Place the hip higher or lower on the T-BOW® to overload more or less the lower or upper back muscles.
▪️The high reactivity of he T-BOW® and its very sensitive mat helps to better feel the tactile sensations of the hip for a more precise postural adjustment.
