Purpose:

General body flexibility and relaxation. Note, even in this exercise if the legs are of not equal strength, then once you put more weight on to the week aside are go deeper into that neighborhood on the weaker side. This prevents the weak side from getting even weaker and causing even bigger problems. Relief of back, hip, and neck stress.

Position:

Lie on back with knees up off floor and flexed. Keep the knees near the hips, arms resting back above the head, and shoulders down at all times (if possible).

Approach:

Roll pelvic bone and flex from side to side. Eventually as you stretch the abdomen, it will move the flexed legs, and the shoulders will remain on the floor. As the legs roll one way, the head will naturally react and roll the opposite way.
