The sitting and standing postures are very common. Naturally, the lower parts are put under pressure. And, the lower back is not spared either.
Here is a posture that relieves the stressed legs and the back. It also stimulates the thyroid glands.
Note: Since the ball is inherently unstable, be careful.
METHOD:
• Take a stability ball of 30cm diameter
• Sit close to the wall with legs stretched
• Keep the ball within reach
• Turn around and stretch the legs up the wall
• Rest the trunk on the floor
• Hips should be close to the wall
• With the heels against the wall, raise the hips
• Roll the ball below the hips, and pull it closer to the trunk
• Rest the back against the ball
• Keeping the heels against the wall straighten both legs
• Relax the arms
• Stay for about four minutes with slow and steady breathing
• Hold the ball, roll it out and slowly come down
• Relax
