    When to avoid this exercise

  • Bent side stretch is a stretching exercise that primarily targets the side muscles of the body. It involves bending the body to one side while reaching the arm overhead and stretching the opposite side. While this exercise can be beneficial for improving flexibility and range of motion, there are certain situations where it should be avoided. Firstly, if you have any injuries or conditions affecting your spine, such as a herniated disc or osteoporosis, it is best to avoid this exercise as it can put strain on the spine and worsen the condition. Similarly, if you have any shoulder injuries or pain, bending and reaching overhead may aggravate the issue. Additionally, pregnant women should avoid this exercise as it can put pressure on the abdominal muscles and potentially harm the baby. People with balance issues or dizziness should also avoid this exercise as it involves bending and reaching, which can lead to falls or discomfort. If you are unsure about whether you should do the bent side stretch, it is always best to consult with a healthcare professional before attempting it. They can assess your individual situation and advise you on the best exercises for your body.
