A member asked:
If you elevate your feet while lying on floor, will that hurt your back?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Should be fine.: You'll likely be working your abdominal muscles more than anything. With any new exercise or stretch, start at low intensity and go slow. If you're in a lot of pain... Stop.
