The act of straightening something that was bent; the present participle of deflex.
From 'deflex' + '-ing'. This is the progressive form of the verb, used in technical descriptions of anatomical or mechanical straightening processes.
Deflexing is what happens when you do a backbend in yoga and then straighten up—your spine goes through a series of controlled deflexing movements guided by your core muscles. This is why people with weak cores struggle to do this safely.
