Cat and Cow

Stretching should be uncomfortable yet pain-free.

Dr. DeWitt recommends these stretches to his patients. If one hurts, stop.

How

1. 1Start on your hands and knees, hands under your shoulders and knees under your hips.
2. 2Round your back up toward the ceiling and let your head drop, like a cat.
3. 3Then let your belly sink, and lift your head and tailbone, like a cow.
4. 4Move slowly between the two, breathing out as you round and in as you sink, until it is uncomfortable yet pain-free.
