Low Back Stretches to Add During Your Day

3/26/2020

 
To be redundant,  working from home leaves a lot to be desired when it comes to disciplined postures and ideal work stations.  Sometimes slipping on to the floor with the cats for what you think is going to be a quick check of email might become a 50 minute exchange.  Getting up might suddenly feel like something has been twisted or is stuck and it might be...but before you seek me out on telehealth consider most of these strains happened while you were doing nothing but sitting badly. So let's first try moving the area to see if you can loosen or stretch out the back.  To be clear these exercises are NOT designed for people having radiating pain in to the leg(s), numbness or tingling or who have had recent back surgery. For that and for those folks who have a persistent pain you will need something more specific and personal and reach out via my telehealth link instead. The following series starts in supine (lying on your back on the floor) moves to sitting, standing and finally on hands and knees. 

Thank you for your nice feedback - yes the model, Danielle is TALL...she is also a former
Division I Volleyball player who is now a Personal Trainer for Fitness Essentials here at the EngineHouse 16 Collaborative.
Great job everyone getting through the week!

    When people understand why some activities may be safer or better than others, or why a condition might get better with activity modification, or why asking better questions of their doctor leads to better outcomes,  healthy things happen.
    ​Sure, health is the first wealth but knowledge and facts are how you get return on that investment.
