EXERCISE

STARTING POSITION

Sit upright with the pelvis in neutral position and the spine axially elongated. Both legs are extended and adducted together, with the ankles dorsiflexed.

Extend the arms laterally to shoulder height in a T position, palms facing downward, with the scapulae stabilized and the shoulders in neutral alignment.

Inhale to prepare, gently scooping the abdominals inward and lengthening the spine upward from the sit bones.

MOVEMENT

Exhale — Deepen abdominal activation and rotate the torso to one side in 3 counts, initiating the movement from the ribcage while maintaining axial elongation. Keep the legs adducted and extended. The pelvis remains stable and facing forward, with both sit bones grounded. Avoid movement of the feet or pelvic shifting.

Inhale — Hold the rotation for a few counts, keeping the head aligned with the sternum.

Exhale — Return to the starting position with control, maintaining spinal length and abdominal engagement.

Repeat the rotation to the opposite side.

Perform 6–10 alternating repetitions.

FOCUS

Deep abdominal activation, primarily transversus abdominis and the oblique system, to control trunk rotation and maintain pelvic neutrality.
Thoracic rotational control supported by the obliques and multifidus, with the erector spinae maintaining axial elongation.
Scapular stabilization through coordinated activity of the middle and lower trapezius and serratus anterior to sustain the T-arm position.
Shoulder abduction endurance with dynamic support from the deltoid, while the hip adductors and knee extensors maintain lower-limb alignment and midline stability.

GOALS

Improve thoracic mobility and controlled spinal rotation.
Enhance abdominal control during transverse plane movement.
Develop pelvic stability in an upright seated position.
Promote hamstring length with active knee extension.
Strengthen postural spinal elongation and enhance scapular stabilization.

OBSERVATIONS

The pelvis remains facing forward throughout the movement, with both sit bones grounded.
Avoid knee flexion; maintain full leg extension.
Initiate rotation from the thoracic spine, not from the head or cervical spine.
Maintain axial elongation without collapsing or posteriorly tilting the pelvis.
Coordinate breath to support control and precision of rotation.
