Lower Back-Recovery tip of the week

Are you suffering from lower back pain? Why don’t you give these 4 stretches a try!

KNEELING HIP FLEXOR

Obtain a half-kneeling position, with your back knee supported on a soft surface and a table nearby for your balance. Keep your core tight. Move your trunk or your pelvis forward until you feel a stretch in the front of your back hip. Hold for a total of 60 seconds on each side.

 

 

PIRIFORMIS STRETCH

Place your leg on top of a tabletop as shown. Lean forward until you feel a stretch in the back of your hip. Hold for 60 seconds, and keep taking rest breaks as needed.

HAMSTRING STRETCH

Lie down on your back with your hands behind your knee. Straighten your knee until you feel a stretch in the back of your thigh. Keep your toes pointed, so you do not feel a stretch in your calf. Hold for 5 seconds and repeat 15 times on each leg.

CAT/ COW STRETCH

Start by being on all fours, raise your back like a cat and look down. Then, arch your back like a cow and lookup. Hold each pose for 5 seconds.

Repeat 10 times.

Follow these and relieve the lower back pain.
