The exercises for spinal flexibility presented in this article are universal. They are suitable for people of any age and both beginners and advanced athletes can begin to implement them..

Preliminary consultation of the therapist before starting classes is necessary in case of:

• injuries or operations on the spine;
• soreness of ligaments and joints;
• serious cardiovascular disease.

Experts do not recommend doing exercises for flexibility of the back before lunch or including them in the morning exercise. The fact is that in the morning the back muscles are in a relaxed state, and this greatly increases the risk of injury. It is best to conduct a lesson in the evening an hour or two after a light dinner. This will help relieve the accumulated nervous tension during the day, relieve back pain and set you on a relaxing holiday..
