The curl up is a spine-sparing core exercise popularized by Dr. Stuart McGill that builds anterior core endurance while minimizing lumbar spine stress. Unlike traditional crunches, the curl up keeps the spine in a neutral position, making it safer for people with back pain.
In this video, Dr. Jeremy Taylor, DC — TPI-certified chiropractor at Taylor Made Integrative Therapy in Fort Worth, TX — demonstrates the Curl Up.
