How to do the exercise

Sets: 3

Repetitions: 8

Description: Stand upright with a straight back, feet shoulder-width apart. Slowly roll your spine forward, vertebra by vertebra, starting from the head down to the pelvis, until reaching a comfortable and controlled flexion. Use your hands or a support to gently help you return to the standing position, gradually unwinding the spine.

Tips: Keep the pelvis stable and avoid sudden movements. Breathe calmly throughout the exercise to facilitate mobility.

Progression: When the exercise becomes easy, gradually increase the depth of flexion or the number of repetitions.
