He theorized that the lordotic lumbar spine placedinordinate strain on the posterior elements of the inter-vertebral disc and caused itspremature dysfunction. He was concerned about the lack of fexion in daily activities inthe accumulation of extension forces that hurt the disc.GOALS OF WILLIAMS FLEXION EXERCISESThe goals of these exercises are to open the intravertebral foramina and stretch the backextensors, hip fexors, and facets; to strengthen the abdominal and gluteal muscles; andto mobilize the lumbosacral junctions.CORE illiams-flexion-exercises.html[2/27/2018 9:23:09 AM]

After returning to the startposition, the sit-up is repeated for a prescribed number of repitions.3- Knee-to-chest:Single Knee to chest. Lie on your back with knees bent and feet fat on the foor. Slowlypull your right knee toward your shoulder and hold 5 to 10 seconds. Lower the knee andrepeat with the other knee.Double knee to chest. Begin as in the previous exercise. After pulling right knee to chest,pull left knee to chest and hold both knees for 5 to 10 seconds. Slowly lower one leg at atime.4- Hamstring stretch:Lying supine, the athlete places both hands around the back of one knee. The athletestraightens his or her knee and pulls the thigh toward his or her head so the hip goes intofexion. Williams believed that fexible hamstrings are necessary to accomplish full fexionof the lumbar spine. Although tight hamstrings limit lumbar fexion in standing with kneestraight, we now know that tight hamstrings actually tilt the pelvis posteriorly andpromote trunk fexion.5- Standing lunges:This exercise actually results in some extension of the lumbar spine when performedproperly. Nonetheless, it is a good stretching exercise for the entire lower extremity,especially the iliopsoas, which may be a perpetrator of low back pain if it is abnormallytight or in spasm.The athlete begins the forward lunge in a standing position with the feet shoulder widthapart. He or she then takes a big step forward with the right leg and plants the foot outfront, keeping the body relatively straight. The knee should stay over your ankle and notextend out over the toes to minimize stress on the knee joint.6- Seated trunk liams-flexion-exercises.html[2/27/2018 9:23:09 AM]

Upon reaching maximum depth, the athlete "bounces the buttocks up anddown" 15 to 20 times, with 2 to 3 inches of excursion on each bounce, then repeats 3 to4 times.For years, the Williams Flexion Exerciseswere the main stay of most low back painIn modern era Williams fexionprevention and care programs.
