Flexibility

I’m doing physical therapy exercises for flexibility. Stretching. They include yoga postures. I maintain correct posture by imagining a cord tied to my spine and pulling it through my navel. A visual Andrea my OT gave me. Today I realize I’m doing one for strength and not flexibility ..and I’m doing it wrong. It’s a bridging exercise meant for the abs and gluts. I decide to keep it but do it right. Instead of reps ..I maintain a posture. I also found that doing sway-and-arch back postures relieve my back of the tension that builds while doing yoga for the abs. Tomorrow I’ll do physical therapy exercises for strength and balance. Right now I’m eating lunch and preparing to water the great outdoors ..possibly do a walk-about locally.
