Cat Cow Stretch
Cat Cow Stretch
This gentle mobility exercise helps restore comfortable motion through your spine — perfect for easing back stiffness and pain.
How-To Steps:
- Start on all fours with hands underneath the shoulders.
- Lift the head and chest simultaneously while letting the stomach sink and the lower back arch to perform the cat. INHALE as you perform this motion.
- Round the back and let the head and neck drop while trying to get the head and pelvis as close as possible. EXHALE as you perform this motion.
*Reps: 10-15
*Do NOT force the end range of motion as this is NOT a stretch. Move fluidly back and forth between the motions with your breath.
*This should not be a painful movement.
*Never do an exercise that causes you pain*
