Cat-Cow Stretch
Begin on your hands and knees, aligning your wrists under your shoulders and your knees under your hips. Inhale as you arch your back, lifting your tailbone and head (Cow Pose). Exhale as you round your back, tucking your chin to your chest (Cat Pose). Repeat this gentle motion for 10-15 repetitions to mobilize your spine and promote flexibility.
Pelvic Tilt
Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Gently contract your abdominal muscles to flatten your lower back against the floor. Hold for a few seconds and then release. Repeat this movement 10-12 times to strengthen your core muscles and stabilize your spine.
Child’s Pose
Kneel on the floor with your big toes touching and knees spread wide. Sit back onto your heels and stretch your arms forward, lowering your chest towards the floor. Breathe deeply and hold for 20-30 seconds. This relaxing stretch can relieve tension in your lower back and hips.
Bridge Pose
Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor, hip-width apart. Press your feet into the floor, engage your glutes, and lift your hips towards the ceiling. Hold for a few seconds, then lower back down. Perform 12-15 repetitions to strengthen your buttocks and lower back muscles.
Bird-Dog Exercise
Start on your hands and knees. Extend your right arm forward while simultaneously extending your left leg back, maintaining a straight line from your hand to your heel. Alternate sides and repeat 10-12 times per side. This exercise enhances core stability and supports a balanced spine.
Knee-to-Chest Stretch
Lie on your back and bring one knee towards your chest, hugging it gently. Hold for 20-30 seconds, then switch to the other leg. This stretch eases tension in your lower back and helps improve flexibility.
Hamstring Stretch
Lie on your back with one leg extended and the other leg raised, holding behind your thigh. Gently pull your raised leg towards you until you feel a stretch in the back of your thigh. Hold for 20-30 seconds on each leg. Tight hamstrings can contribute to low back pain, so regular stretching can be beneficial.
