Do you complain about lower back pain that never seems to go away?
While stretching the muscles will help increase your range of motion and relieve the low back.
It is important to include a variety of strength exercises (which I'll do in a future post) in addition to your stretches to improve your low back tolerance to activity! Ultimately leading to a stronger and healthier low back. 💪🏼🔥
While some of these stretches don't target the low-back region directly, the muscles like the quads, hamstrings, and glutes contribute to the overall functionality of the low-back.
If any of these muscles are tight, they will affect your posture, thus creating muscular discrepancies contributing to low-back discomfort.
Sometimes we must look beyond the low-back itself to find the root cause of the issue.
Perform these stretches everyday or as needed!
1️⃣ QL Wall Stretch w/ Dowel 10x's per side- 2 to 5 sec hold
2️⃣ Standing QL Stretch - 30-60 sec hold per side
3️⃣ Kneeling Quad Stretch - 30-60 sec hold per side
4️⃣ 90/90 Hip Stretch 30-60 sec hold per side
5️⃣ Static Proximal Hamstring Stretch 30 sec per side
