How to Do
How to Do Wall Trunk Rotations
The wall trunk rotations should begin with good posture to avoid injury. Brace the spine by drawing your lower abdomen inward. Your core muscles should be activated to support your posture as you perform the exercise.
If any pain is experienced, immediately stop the wall trunk rotations.
Beginning
Beginning Wall Trunk Rotations
1. Begin on an exercise mat in a supine position (laying on your back).
2. Knees should be bent and feet should be flat on the floor.
3. Maintain a solid grip on the floor with your shoulders and upper torso.
4. To aid in balance throughout the action, extend your arms and press them into the floor.
5. Abdominal muscles should be engaged/tightened.
Movement
Wall Trunk Rotations Movement
1. Start off by standing with your back close to the corner of a wall.
2. One foot will be before you while the other foot will be behind you. Keep your feet slightly wider than shoulder-width with a gap between them of about six inches.
3. From this position, use your hips to rotate your shoulders so that one side of your shoulder almost touches the wall. Return from that position and alternate directions that you rotate with.
Benefits
Wall Trunk Rotations Benefits
By collaborating with the pelvic muscles, the torso stabilizes the spine and facilitates movement. Flex, extend, rotate, and bend are all done by these muscles working together. Torso rotation exercises can help with flexion and extension, as well as forward and backward bending.
