Description of exercise Dural back stretch exercise is a stretching technique that targets the muscles and connective tissue of the back, specifically the dura mater which covers the spinal cord. It involves lying on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor, then gently pulling one knee towards your chest while keeping the other leg straight. This creates a stretch in the lower back and hips. The exercise can be modified by adding a rotation of the torso to further stretch the muscles. Dural back stretch is beneficial for improving flexibility, reducing tension in the back, and promoting relaxation. It is often used as a part of physical therapy or as a warm-up before more strenuous exercises.
