Lower back pain is a fairly common health concern, as many things can cause it. Certain stretches may help reduce pain and strengthen your lower back muscles.
Lower back pain might be a symptom of an underlying condition, like kidney stones or acute pancreatitis. Other times, it’s simply a side effect of a sedentary lifestyle or repetitive motions.
While stretching isn’t a remedy for all lower back pain, in many instances, it can provide relief. Read on to learn seven stretching exercises that can help.
First, a few quick tips
Stretch your lower back with safety and care. Be especially gentle and cautious if you have any type of injury or health concern. It’s best to talk with your doctor first before starting any new types of exercise.
You can do these stretches once or twice a day. But if the pain seems to get worse, or you’re feeling very sore, take a day off from stretching.

Thanks Saralyn, feel much better after these stretches.
Thank you Sister
After doing these exercises my back pain reduces rapidly.
I would like to follow you ❤
Saralyn!!! I am so happy I found you. So much relief. Thanks a million!!! EVERYONE BOW DOWN TO THE QUEEN*now that we can*!!!
Simple, effective, and easy to follow, these stretches are a total game-changer for daily back relief🧘♂✨
This would've been a lot better as a real-time session.
Great exercises, thank you
These kinds of routines help a lot — but one thing many people miss is that lower back pain is often more about movement patterns than just tight muscles.
When I started focusing on daily micro-routines instead of random stretches, things changed completely.
My back's been out for 2 days thank you so much I did every stretch.. 2nd mourning of doing stretches follow your exact stops this has helped me thank you..
Great
Why dont you slow down so the moves are effective? This is not stretching or benefitting anyone. My as well write down a list of exercises.
The pelvic tilt stretch does make any sense. It just looks like your laying on the floor doing nothing but breathing
Incredible. I am a heavier bloke who does a few various sports which takes a toll on my lower back. It is absolutely sensational to sit down with no back pain after this. Thanks!
My husband caught me doing the cat-cow, we fucked now my back hurts again 😂😂😂😂😂
I did the first one on the bed n that did make my back feel better until I tried to lay on it so I'll just do the first stretch to start with thanks
I am 24 years old… Why god why ?
God you have an amazing body also thanks for the video hope it helps my back pain
Felt better after doing these exercises! Thank you.
Her breathing in this is so weird 😭😭😭
your exercises are the best. my lower back pain is completely gone and I spend less than 5 mins for these…
I like these, but I feel I have to stop what I'm doing, press pause, then do the other side to get the full effects, just gets annoying when you're already in a compromised position 😅
Came here cuz my back hurt and can’t stop staring at that wagon lmfaooo
Awesome! Thanks so much. These immediately cured my lower back pain
None of these targeted the lower back it more felt like glutes and hamstrings
