LOW BACK STRETCHES
//A Thread//
5 of the best stretches to keep your low back loose and pain free.
Been getting a lot of requests for low back pain in the DM's
I'll be showing 5 stretches you can do to help with this!
Do these daily if you sit a lot.
1. Prone Press Up:
We spend most of our time in a flexed position.
Our lower spine tends to get stiff.
This exercise works on getting lumbar extension and helps reduce the stiffness.
Try 3 sets of 20 once a day.
2. Open Book:
This exercise targets rotation of the mid/low back.
Usually, this feels great and gives a nice stretch to the low back muscles.
Try doing 10 reps on each side and holding for a few seconds at the end of each rep.
3. Hamstring Stretch:
Tight hamstrings = low back pain.
You can do this in a doorway against the wall.
Hit both sides for 30-60 seconds x 3 sets.
4. Childs Pose
A nice stretch for the low back muscles.
Feels good if you sit a lot.
Hold for 30-60 seconds a couple of times.
5. Trunk Twists
Another option for low back rotation.
Great stretch and movement for the spine.
