Lower spine decompression

Lower spine decompression

Lie on your back with your partner by a stability ball.
Ask your partner to help you to bend your hips and knees.
Ask your partner to sit on the stability ball with both legs resting on either thigh.
Ensure that they are sitting securely on the ball.
Once your partner is stable sitting on the ball, ask your partner to gently take hold of your knees with both hands and rest both forearms along your shins. 
The exercise:
Inhale.
As you exhale, ask your partner to secure your ankles by their sides using both of their elbows and then ask them to lean backwards as your pelvis rises a little from the ground.
Inhale, and control the return back to the floor.
Exhale and inhale as you rest.
Exhale and repeat the movement.
To come out of the position, ask your partner to move your lower legs over to one thigh.
Your partner will then stand up and roll the ball out to one side, then slowly lower your legs to the ground.
