Lumbar Trunk Rotation

About

Lumbar trunk rotation is an exercise designed to enhance spinal mobility and flexibility, particularly in the lower back region. It involves a twisting motion that targets the muscles responsible for trunk stability and rotation, such as the internal and external obliques, erector spinae, and multifidus. This exercise can be performed in various positions, including lying on the back (supine) or standing, each offering different levels of challenge and engagement. The exercise helps improve the range of motion in the lumbar spine, which is essential for daily activities and reducing stiffness. By practicing controlled rotations, individuals can strengthen their core muscles, potentially alleviating lower back pain and improving overall posture. Regular practice of lumbar trunk rotation can lead to better spinal alignment and enhanced functional movement, making it a valuable component of both fitness routines and rehabilitation programs.
