While performing a bridge during the core stabilization level, why should the hips not be raised too far off the floor?
  1. Hyper-extending the lower back causes excess weight to be placed on the shoulders
  2. Hyper-extending the lower back places stress on the lumbar spine
  3. Hyper-extending the lower back places strain on the abdominal muscles
  4. The hips should be raised as high up as possible as long as the client is comfortable
Explanation
Answer - B - While performing a bridge during the core stabilization level, the hips should not be raised too far off the floor because hyper-extending the lower back places stress on the lumbar spine. The shoulders, hips, and knees should form a straight line at the top of the bridge.
