Low back tightness? Try These!
Here are some general tips to help decrease that tension. NOTE: this is NOT intended as specific professional medical advice to diagnose or fix low back pain.. if you have symptoms lasting >48-72 hrs, consider contacting a physical therapist.
EXERCISES:
1. LAYING ROTATIONS (WITH or W/O BALL) - roll legs side to side, gradually moving further as long as pain-free (30-50+)
2. HAND-HEEL ROCK - rock from hands and knees to sitting back onto heels; more gradually into movement, building into cobra position as shown (10-20)
3.CAT-COW - on hands and knees, gently move back and forth from arched to hollow position, gradually moving further in each direction as long as pain-free (10-20 each)
OVERALL EMPHASIS: Pain-free active movement. We aren’t stretching here 😉.
FOR LASTING BACK PAIN RELIEF: be sure to incorporate some targeted progressive strength training 💪🏽
