Lying Lower Back Stretch
Equipment
Slowly raise one knee and use your hands to gently pull it towards your chest, keeping the other leg flat on the ground.
Hold this position for about 15 to 30 seconds, feeling a gentle stretch in your lower back and hip area.
Slowly release the knee and return to the starting position.
Repeat the process with the other leg, and continue alternating legs for the desired number of repetitions.
Pro Tip
Knee to Chest: Carefully bend one knee and bring it towards your chest, clasping your hands around your knee or shin to hold it in place. The common mistake here is pulling the knee too hard towards the chest, which can strain your lower back. Instead, gently pull your knee just until you feel a comfortable stretch. Maintain a Neutral Spine: While pulling your knee towards your chest, ensure your lower back and spine remain in a neutral position against the floor. Avoid arching your back or lifting your hips off the floor, as this can lead to back strain. Hold and Switch: Hold the stretch for about 20 to 30 seconds, then gently release your leg back to the starting position. Repeat
