SUMMARY:
– Stand up straight, feet about shoulder-width apart, arms relaxed at your sides. Now slowly curl your back and lower your head to the ground without bending your legs. How far did you get? If you’re not used to stretching or have weaker muscles, you may not have been able to get down too far.
– Stretching out your back is key to helping your muscles feel good and relaxed no matter what you’re doing. And the hanging stretch is a great way to relieve your back muscles from tension!
– To do a passive hang stretch, you’ll need a bar strong enough to hold your body weight. You can use one on a back machine at the gym or even a door frame pull-up bar.
– The trunk rotation stretch is great for improving the mobility of your spine by relaxing your side trunk muscles. All you do is lie down flat on your back with your legs relaxed. Take one leg, bend it upward, and push it over the other leg without straightening it out.
– The camel stretch is all about arching your back, which can really help back muscles that are stiff and sore from sitting down all day.
– Deep squat and reach is great for shoulder extension, and it really helps stretch your upper back. It does require a little bit of balance and strength.
– If you suffer from lower back pain and sit at a desk all day, this hip flexor stretch can be really helpful. When you do a lot of sitting, your hip muscles can become tight, so when you finally do stand up, these tightened hip muscles actually pull the lower back forward.
– The Jefferson curl is great for flexibility since it helps you get to a place where you can fully fold your body in half and touch the ground while standing.
– Training your muscles, even while stretching, takes time. If you do these stretches every day, they’ll become easier over time, and your back pain will decrease more and more.
