5 Lower Back Pain Stretches

Hi, I'm Tyler.

I'm a doctor of physical therapy.

Follow along for the next five minutes for fast lower back pain relief.

The only equipment you'll need is a chair or a bench.

for our first stretch, we'll place one foot on the bench.

We'll lean forward while keeping our back straight.

Then we'll reach one arm overhead to stretch the whole side body.

Take a few deep breaths here in and out through your nose.

Then we'll switch and do a few on the other side.

For our next stretch, we'll place one arm down on the bench and then thread the needle with the opposite side.

And then with that hand, we'll reach up towards the ceiling, breathing out as we reach through and in as we reach up.

and then we'll try a few reps on the other side.

For the next stretch, we'll place both hands on the bench and drop our hips down towards the floor.

Take a few deep breaths here in the middle and then a few breaths with your arms off to one side and then the other side.

Lying on your stomach, we'll begin pressing up, focusing on lifting more through the upper back while keeping the lower back flat.

Trying to lift a little higher each time as your spine loosens up.

For our last stretch, we'll hinge forward at our hips while keeping a slight bend in our knees.

Try and sink down a little further each time you breathe out.

Then take a few breaths with your arms off to the left and then a few with your arms off to the right.

And, then slowly work your way back up to standing.

Stretching is the first step to getting rid of joint pain.

But if you want to put your back pain in the past, you need strength and stability.

That's why I'm building the 60 day lower back pain recovery Plan.

It's for active people who want to get back to pain free exercise.
