These back pain relief stretches are great for helping to relieve general back pain and back stiffness. The back stretches are done in real time, so they are easy to follow. Buy a worksheet with these back stretches:
In general when stretching the back, you should hold most stretches for 30 seconds, and do them 3 times. Sometimes you might not have enough time to go through your whole routine, which can be time consuming. If you are in a hurry, still hold the back stretches for 30 seconds, but do less reps.
Starting off with a warm up will help loosen up the back and hip muscles. Pelvic tilts are a great way to get things moving.
Lying down on the bed, floor, or couch, knee to chest and trunk rotation stretches really help loosen up and open up the back area.
Next sitting, a quadratus lumborum (QL) stretch will give great relief to the low back.
Finally, child’s pose (prayer stretch) and cat/cow (cat/dog) stretches will help the whole body relax.

20, After a long running 3km while fully forgetting the existence of stretches 🙂 after that I also hit the gym and like God gave me all the blessings, it was back day time 😢 did the backday without someone(i was still unaware of that the back pain was caused by not stretching). After sleeping that night, I was locked with the bed, wasn't even able to go to washroom 😭
Now the 5th time doing this, the pain is slowly getting away
Here in 2026
Feeling like 89 😅

I suffered a back injury last year in July. I was really resigned when it came to doing anything with the pain from it. I gave up on sports because whenever I exercise the pain got unbearable. These stretches really helped, making the pain be a bit more manageable ❤
It has to be done in morning when u get up ? Or can we do anytime or before sleeping
