Correct way to do reverse curl ups
Hi Sarah
As someone who has suffered from back pain for a number of years recently finding your book, Backs Sufferers Bible and following the exercises has been a great help.
I was recently showing a physiotherapist how I do a reverse curl up, I lie on my back with back pressed into the ground then bring one knee up and perform the exercise. The physio said I shouldn't have a flat back but should maintain a curve in the spine so that a hand could be fit between back and floor.
Re-reading the exercise instructions in your book I can't see it indicating either method. Could you tell me what you would recommend either back flat on the floor on with a curve ?
Thankyou
Tony
