Cobra Push-Up

For posterior disc bulge-type pain: lie face down with hips in contact with the floor, toes pointed back, legs straight and together, head neutral; press up like a push-up while keeping hips on the floor. Do 8–10 repetitions and hold the final rep until you begin to quake slightly, then relax. Used to encourage the disc bulge back toward the center.

He suggested that I do essentially the opposite of a sit-up. Basically that I lie down on the floor with toes extended, legs together, and then do essentially a pushup while keeping my hips in contact with the floor.
