Standing Roll Down

Stand upright, with your feet hip-width apart and your arms relaxed at your sides. Now pull your chin to your chest, let your head hang down and drop your shoulders forward. Curve your upper back and roll slowly down the vertebra. Hang your arms while doing this.

Hang over for a moment. Then pull your navel inwards and slowly pull your pelvis and spine (vertebra by vertebra) upright. Then roll your shoulders back and put your head straight up.

Repeat this entire movement 5 to 10 times.

This exercise helps to stretch out the spinal column and relieve pain in the back. It is a good way to warm up the back before exercising. The trick is to go slow and feel the gentle stretch.

Do you find that your active lifestyle causes or is hindered by sore muscles or stiff joints? Atrosan Devil’s Claw helps to relieve muscle and joint pain throughout the body, which is great for chronic, long term pain.

Alternatively, Atrogel Arnica Gel is a topical pain relief that can be applied directly to affected areas to soothe stiffness and pain – perfect for when you've overdone it!

Remember to always follow a doctor or physiotherapist’s advice when it comes to exercising with an injury or joint condition.
