Use this 7-minute sequence to alleviate lower body pain and tension using two-directional length techniques. This sequence is ideal for anyone dealing with low back pain, tight hips and hamstrings, and offers an indirect approach for treating neck and shoulder pain. Practice this sequence on its own or add it to any other sequence, including the Lower Body Compression Sequence and Low Back Release Sequence.
Remember: Performing two-directional lengthening techniques is different than creating a muscle stretch. When performing moves like the Bent Knee Press and Hip to Heel Press, think about moving two specific parts away from each other in equal timing to create length in the connective tissue and create a hydration effect.
