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.

These two vertebrae are the reason your neck can move in so many directions. Mid Spine = Thoracic Lumbar Spine = Below the Thoracic vertebraes - your lumbar spine consists of 5 discs/vertebrae.
What is mild levoconvex scoliosis of the mid lumbar spine?
