To go out of my way to do something for someone when I really don't have to or didn't have intentions to. In other words, I try to make a miracle happen.

If this is a sex oriented question, bending over backwards dose not allow you access from behind. On the other hand if this is a serious question, it means giving your all, doing more than what it takes, walking the extra mile, giving your best to accomplish a task.

we'll bend over backwards to ensure they can attend even if they can't afford it."
I have looked it up in the dictionary and now I know the meaning roughly, but literally, does it suggest a motion or movement to bring one's body down not forward but backward, just like making a "bridge" with one's back facing the floor? I am just curious. Thank you.

Either bending backwards to touch your heels with your finertips or:
Going out of your way to do everything you can to make something easier for someone else.

"bend over backwards"
You bend over backwards when you put yourself in an uncomfortable position in order to help another person. Example: "We bent over backwards to help him, and he never even thanked us!"
It is difficult to bend over backwards, and it feels awkward, but you are willing to do it to help certain people. Example: "My dad knows that I would bend over backwards to help him if he needed it."
At other times you are only willing to help when it is convenient for you, and you would not bend over backwards. Example: "I will help you out if you need it, but I am not bending over backwards for you."

To do anything and everything to help someone out. Going above and beyond the call of duty. Doing a lot more that is expected of you.

It means going beyond the normal limits to accomplish something. Going out of your way or working extraordinarily hard to accomplish something...usually for someone else's sake.

To me it means to go above and beyond the call of duty, possibly at the expense of ones dignity or pride.

"Bend over backwards" means to put a great deal of time and effort into helping another person, and then feeling as if your efforts weren't appreciated.
