Five Easy Exercises To Help With Lower Back Pain
Pelvic Tilts: Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Tighten your abdominal muscles and push your lower back into the floor. Hold for a few seconds, then relax. Repeat 10-15 times.
Cat-Cow Stretch: Start on your hands and knees. Arch your back upward (like a cat) and then dip it downward (like a cow). Repeat 10-15 times to improve flexibility and relieve tension.
Bird-Dog Exercise: Start on your hands and knees. Extend one leg straight back while simultaneously reaching forward with the opposite arm. Hold for a few seconds, then switch sides. Repeat 10-15 times per side.
Bridges: Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Lift your hips towards the ceiling, squeezing your glutes at the top. Hold for a few seconds, then lower back down. Repeat 10-15 times.
Child’s Pose: Start on your hands and knees, then sit back on your heels and reach your arms forward. Hold for 20-30 seconds to stretch the lower back.
