Well, now I saw a video on a PT that included sitting forward flexion as part of the steps in the McKenzie extension exercises. Which I thought was kind of strange. As well as forward flex standing. Of course Williams exercises typically would be contraindicated for flexion sensitive conditions like disc bulge and hnp lesions

Thanks for the video. My dr prescribed these exercises. Q: You’re holding your head up when lying down - is that the right form or was that because you were talking to the camera. should I keep my head on the ground? Thanks.
