You can try this if you have a lower back pain then just avoid it because if you will try in your lower back if you have a surgery of your back if so just avoid it if you have any muscle tear in your hamstring and your calf muscles you have to avoid it but it is very good for increasing flexibility in your calf muscles and in your hamstring. OK so this is all for today Namaste and Take care.
