hi anna,

there should be no doubt that full spinal flexion exercises are contraindicated, hence kindly avoid.

take care

cheers,

I'm really grateful for your reply. It is such great relief when someone appreciates your worries and gives you a precise and clear answer. However sad, I now know that it is better to avoid spinal flexion.

I'll now have to think of a good way of strengthening my rectus abdominis which I thought could only be achieved by doing the traditional 'abdominal curls'. Would it be safe if I still did this kind of exercise, laying on my back and squeezing the ribcage to the hips? This is not a full spinal flexion, is it?

Thank you so very much for your help!

Anna
