Sitting all day leaving your back stiff and sore? When it comes to easing tension and stress, movement really is magic, and the good news is, you don’t need a full workout to feel the benefits. According to a Pilates expert, this simple move is one of the most effective ways to release spinal tension and improve posture. Even better? It takes just two minutes.
“The Pilates roll down is a really good exercise for spinal flexion and mobility, and it also uses the abdominals to control the movement, articulating the spine forward,” says Abby McLachlan, Pilates Instructor & Founder of East of Eden. “It can help with back and neck tension and it's a great exercise for posture and alignment.”
