It comes after a back and neck surgeon sounded the alarm about the dangerous move last week.
It could cause a host of neck and back problems, according to a board-certified orthopedic surgeon. Dr Rahul Shah of Premier Orthopedic Associates of New Jersey.
Speaking exclusively to DailyMail.com, Dr Shah explained why the move is so dangerous and warned it could lead to serious injuries.
“In the process of moving from a lying position to a standing position, muscles that people don’t normally use can be recruited, which could lead to injury,” Dr Shah told DailyMail.com.
“Specifically, if one does not have enough core strength to allow the individual to pull the leg, it can twist the spine and cause injury,” he added.

‘While Amy focuses on her recovery after a foot injury, her fellow professional dancer, Lauren Oakley, will act as JB’s dance partner.
‘The health and wellbeing of everyone involved in Strictly is always the top priority. “The whole Strictly family sends love and well wishes to Amy.”
