Can you help, I'm a new Pilates teacher and I have a client who has severe forward head and kyphosis hump back so when we perform the swan dive for example her chest doesn't lay flat on the mat and her head and neck drop below her spine. She also has a hard time lifting her head up when performing the Swan dive. Is there anything I can do to help? I've modified with a block under the forehead yet that still doesn't line the neck up with the spine. I know it's an important exercise for her but the strain on her neck from lifting her head up makes its uncomfortable and almost impossible . Do you have any suggestions? What would you do? Thanks you, I really appreciate your time and effort in replying :)
Hi! Kathryn here. Thanks so much for your comment, and great question. I'd suggest you put a couple of pillows under her chest so that you accommodate for the kyphosis, then possibly an additional pillow on the side of the thoracic spine that's rotated forward. Then the exercise becomes a head hover, training the deep neck flexors to hold the weight of the head against gravity rather than necessarily trying to aim to bring the head right up to the thoracic spine. (Doing the full lift risks irritation of the lower cervical discs). Good luck and I hope that helps. Kathryn.
@@VivaPhysiotherapyMelbourne ab prep is contraindicated for her, would you say four point kneeling is too then due to not being able to keep the head and neck alignment Thanks again xx
Great visual walkthrough of these various stretches! As an endurance runner and RU-vidr - I'm always looking for strength and poeventative exercises to get better. I love sharing knowledge, reviews and interviews on my channel as well! I hope you get a chance to check it out! Keep it up... you have my full support!
Yes! That's right - Balanced body allegro. I'd suggest using 1 red and 1 yellow to begin with. You can drop the tension to 1 red to make it harder for the abs, or increase the tension to a red and a blue to make it harder for the shoulders and easier on the abs.
Although this looks like a very basic stretch it is very helpful and could provide relief to someone suffering from back issues. If your viewers are looking to work the abs but have difficulty due to lower back problems we suggest they try the abstand. They can learn more at theabstand*net and try it for $14.95 + free shipping.
Thank you very much. This stretches right where it hurts. I have being having this pain for over 20 years and this is a great relief. The only thing is that I when I put my hands in the back holding my elbows streight I get a cramp in my back. The other thing is that I have to do this stretch at least twice a day, because the pain eventually comes back. Will I see an emprovement over time and am I doing anything wrong?
Hey Claudio, thanks for your comment. The cramp is quite common when you are new to this exercise so yes, it'll improve in time. However if you need an interim until your back can tolerate the roller I'd suggest doing the same thing with a rolled up towel, which will be more forgiving and be a good interim until you can tolerate the roller fully. Regarding the frequency you need to do it, at first the effect will only last a short time. As you do it more, the effect will last longer, but for a real long-term fix you'll need some strengthening exercises such as this hub.vivaphysiotherapy.com/programs/abdominal-exercises
