Body Mechanics
Use body weight through palms and forearms — arm strength alone causes practitioner fatigue.
Contraindication Check
Screen for pregnancy, recent surgery, and blood clots before floor stretches.
Safety Notes
- Use body weight not arm strength alone.
- Never press directly on knee cap or spine processes.
