Build stability before strength 🐦🐕
The bird dog exercise is all about control, coordination, and spinal stability. While it looks simple, it plays a big role in protecting your lower back and building a strong foundation for everyday movement.
✨ Why we prescribe bird dogs:
• Activates deep core muscles that support the spine
• Improves balance and coordination
• Helps stabilize the pelvis and low back
• Reduces unnecessary strain on the lower back
💡 The goal:
This is not a speed exercise. The focus is on keeping your spine neutral while your arms and legs move—training your body to stay stable during real-life movements like lifting, walking, and reaching.

⚠️ Always follow guidance from a healthcare professional to ensure this exercise is appropriate for your condition.
