This exercise can take pressure off your back by “unloading” it (self-traction) — helping you feel better.
STANDING LUMBAR SELF TRACTION Start in a standing position. Find a table about waist height. Place your forearms on the table so that your wrists are facing away from you. Lean forward and make sure your weight is being held by your arms. Ease your lower back and slightly bend your knees. You should feel little to no weight in your legs.
Always consult your physical therapist or physician before starting exercises you are unsure of doing.
