You just want to lie down on your back and let themuscle tensiondrain away.
Well, now you canby using the “hook lying” position.
(Just don’t let your boss see you.)
Forgiss
Hook lying is often recommended as a great way to relax back muscles.
This position is also referred to as the “constructive rest position.”
Another name for this variation is the “90-90” position.
“Ninety-ninety” refers to the angles your hips and knees make.
But in the hook-lying position, the flex will likely be pretty minimal.
Just the same, if you have disc problems, hook lying may bring on symptoms.
If it does, stop the activity; hook lying may not be the position for you.
Just let the weight of your thighs sink directly down into your hip sockets.
It’s important to stop if it causes any pain.
Your back muscles may well thank you for it.
