∙ 14y ago
These are different stretches used by many different doctors and therapist to extend and flex the muscles. This often checks the length of muscles in comparison to the regular length of muscles and helps to work them so they do not tighten up or malfunction due to decreased exercise. Flexion usually is started by pointing the toes to stretch the muscles up the legs and into the lumbar area in the back. Extension is usually when you stretch a part of the body the opposite direction past it's normal point of movement. These exercise of the muscles are used in relief of many muscle and tendon conditions.

Lumbar and hip extensions are movements that involve arching the lower back and pushing the hips forward, which engages the muscles in the lower back and buttocks. Lateral flexion of the lumbar spine refers to bending the spine sideways, targeting the muscles along the sides of the lower back and waist. These movements are commonly incorporated in exercises to strengthen the lower back, core, and hip muscles.
