Do you struggle with the Deep Squat?

Most people do!

That is why I created this unique Mobility Routine.

Use it to rest, or to decompress your lumbar spine.

Exercise 5 is for instant tension relief.

For all Levels!🧵Image Back Pain is often more related to fascia issues than solely muscular ones.

That means you need a more "bouncy" approach to opening up the tissue that connects to your lower back.

Important: Drink a lot after the fascia centered exercises.

Your tissue will need the extra hydration.
