How to Perform
1
In a seated position with your legs extended, have your partner stand behind you. Now, lean forward as your partner braces your shoulders with their hands. This will be your starting position.
2
Attempt to push your torso back for 10-20 seconds, as your partner prevents any actual movement of your torso.
3
Now relax your muscles as your partner increases the stretch by gently pushing your torso forward for 10-20 seconds.
