Assisted Body weight

Description

A stretching exercise that focuses on the lateral muscles of the torso. The participant stands straight, extends one arm overhead, and bends at the waist towards the opposite side.

How to Do Assisted Side Bent

1
Setup
Stand tall with your feet hip-width apart and a neutral spine, either freestanding or next to a wall for support with your non-stretching hand.
2
Setup
Extend one arm straight overhead, palm facing inward, while your other arm can rest on your hip or gently assist the stretch.
3
Inhale, then as you exhale, slowly bend your torso directly to the side, reaching the overhead arm further away from your body.
4
Focus on feeling the stretch along the entire side of your torso, from your hip to your armpit, without twisting your body.
5
Hold the stretched position for the prescribed duration, breathing deeply, then slowly return to the starting position.

Tips

Engage your core slightly to protect your lower back and maintain proper alignment throughout the lateral bend.
Imagine you are bending between two panes of glass to prevent leaning forward or backward during the stretch, ensuring a true side bend.
Use your free hand to gently pull on the wrist of your overhead arm for an increased stretch, if comfortable and without causing strain.
Breathe deeply into the stretched side of your rib cage to help relax the muscles and deepen your flexibility with each exhale.

Common Mistakes

×Twisting the torso instead of bending laterally reduces the target muscle stretch; ensure your shoulders and hips remain stacked and facing forward.
×Bending forward or backward rather than directly to the side shifts the stretch away from the lateral muscles; maintain a flat plane of movement.
×Holding your breath during the stretch can increase muscle tension; consciously exhale as you deepen the bend to promote relaxation and greater range of motion.
