prasarita
padottanasana (spread-leg forward bend), which is especially therapeutic for
back pain. Uddiyana Bandha (stomack lock) is also recommended.
Other suggested asanas include: supported down dog pose using a
yoga strap placed in front of hips and then tied to a door knob or something
stable; supported half dog pose gently stretches the erector spinae muscles of
the back by placing the lower back in traction; simple supported backbend;
elevated twist on a bolster is a great way to stretch the external rotator
muscles and also stretch the latissimus dorsi muscles (here the function of
the lumbo-sacral spine is enhanced); supported child’s pose; and a basic
relaxation pose with Legs on a Chair.
The Joint Freeing Series Nos. 6 & 7 would work well here in addition
to the Side of Hip Stretch, Warrior II and Triangle from the Structural Yoga
Therapy Kinesiology Chart.
