Flat Back

The Flat Back is an exercise for the back extensors. The name is comes from an exercise in modern dance. However, then name is deceptive because the back isn’t flat at all in this exercise. In the “flat back” position, the back is actually slightly in extension, escpeicallhy with extension of the lower back. We put our hands on the lower back for the purpose of proprioceptive feedback.
