Seated twist
A seated twist for the middle of the back that you can do on a chair or on the floor.
How to do it
- Sit tall on a chair or the floor.
- Place one hand behind you and the other on the opposite knee.
- Rotate from the middle of your back.
Remember
Grow tall first, then turn.
Take care
Don’t force the twist with your arms.
Ask a professional first if you have:
- osteoporosis or low bone density (avoid deep rounding of the back and strong twists)
- recent back surgery or nerve pain down the leg
- a pregnancy (after about 16 weeks, don’t lie on your back or belly for long, and twist only gently)
Stretch gently and never into pain. StretchUp gives general guidance and is not a medical device.
