The MDT Side Glide with Extension targets lateral and extension mobility in the lumbar spine — helping reduce asymmetry, centralize pain, and restore healthy movement patterns.

✅ Improves spinal extension & lateral glide

✅ Great for those with postural asymmetry or stiffness from sitting

Pro tip 👉 Keep your hips and shoulders aligned, move slowly into end range, and repeat for smooth, controlled motion — not force.
