맥켄지 엎드려 상체 밀어올리기 (프레스업)
The gold standard exercise of the McKenzie MDT framework. By pressing up with the arms while keeping the lower body completely relaxed, disc nucleus material is encouraged to shift forward away from irritated nerve roots.
단계별 실행 가이드
임상 프로토콜- 1 Lie flat on your stomach with hands placed palms down beside your shoulders (like the bottom of a push-up).
- 2 Completely relax your hips, buttocks, and lower back muscles.
- 3 Press through your palms to straighten your elbows, lifting your upper body as high as comfortable.
- 4 Allow your pelvis and thighs to sag heavy against the mat, creating a deep arch in your lower back.
- 5 Hold for 2 to 3 seconds at the top, exhale fully, and lower back down. Repeat for 10 smooth reps.
핵심 자세 포인트
- ✓ Your arms do 100% of the lifting; keep your glutes and lower back totally limp like a sack of sand.
- ✓ Centralization of symptoms (pain moving from leg into center of back) indicates successful technique.
주의해야 할 흔한 실수
- ✗ Do NOT tense your glutes or engage your back muscles to lift yourself.
- ✗ Stop if pain radiates further down into the foot or leg.
금기 사항 및 중단 기준
Do not perform this movement or modify strictly under clinical supervision if you have:
- Lumbar spinal stenosis
- Spondylolisthesis / Pars defect
- Facet joint arthropathy aggravated by extension
임상 생체역학과 근거
This exercise protocol utilizes proven spinal mechanics: active core co-contraction (McGill stabilization), directional preference extension (McKenzie MDT), and non-compressive axial elongation to facilitate nutrient exchange in the avascular intervertebral disc matrix.
