Spinal rotation - standing with hands on hips (Trunk rotation/flexion AROM, reaching to foot, standing)

Stand upright with your legs shoulder-width apart and your hands on your hips with the fingers facing in towards the naval.
Bend forwards at the hip and at the same time rotate slightly to the right and stretch out your left hand towards the top of your right foot.
Return to the neutral starting position, and bend forwards at the hip. At the same time, rotate slightly to the left and stretch out your right hand towards the top of your left foot.
Use your hips to rotate your trunk and keep your back straight as you bend into the movement. Use your knees and hips to assist in the bend, taking care not to overarch your lower back.
Keep your head aligned with your spine as your body rotates through the movement.
Perform this exercise at a slow controlled pace, within the limits of your mobility.
