APT Protocol: 7. Child’s Pose

1 x 45 seconds
Start the exercise by positioning yourself on the ground on all fours with your knees below your hips and your hands below your shoulders. Next, gently extend your fingers forward while simultaneously shifting your hips backward towards your heels. As you do this, allow your buttocks to ease towards your heels while extending your arms away from your body. Focus on maintaining a steady breath and keep your neck in a neutral position. The main goal of this movement is to gently stretch and release tension in the muscles of your lower back, promoting flexibility and relaxation. Remember, it's absolutely normal to feel a slight rounding in your lower back during this exercise.
