Overview
In this lesson, we present axials for spine flexion.
Objective
Understand how to use axial loading to build strength and stability in spinal flexion.

This approach builds strength where flexibility alone isn't enough. For teachers and therapists, axials are a powerful tool for clients who have plenty of range but lack control, or who need to rehab from back pain by building load tolerance in flexion.
