Daily recovery is also important

1. Lie on your back and lift your pelvis: Lie on your back with your knees bent. Use your feet and back as support points to lift your pelvis, then slowly lower it. Repeat 20 times. This movement can correct the anterior tilt of the lower pelvis and increase the curvature of the lumbar spine.

2. Hug your knees and touch your chest: Lie on your back with your knees bent. Hug your knees and bring them as close to your chest as possible, but be careful not to arch your back off the bed.

3. Leg lift in side-lying position: In side-lying position, the upper leg can be straightened, the lower knee slightly bent, the upper leg lifted to the side, and then slowly lowered, repeat dozens of times.

4. Crawl with your knees touching your elbows, and lie prone with your knees and upper limbs supported: relax your waist and slowly sink down. After repeating 10 times, straighten one lower limb and bend the knee to touch the elbow joint on the same side as much as possible. Repeat 15 times.

5. Straight leg raise: Lie on your back with your hands under your buttocks, slowly lift your lower limbs with your knees slightly bent, then put them down, and repeat 15 times.

6. Leg stretching: Sit on the bed, bend one knee slightly, straighten the other lower limb, lean forward to press on the straightened lower limb, and then switch to the other lower limb. This movement can also be performed in a standing position with the lower limbs resting on the back of a chair in front of you.

7. Knee sit-ups: Lie on your back with your knees bent. Contract your abdomen to lift your torso and touch your hands to your knees.
