6:14 The best lower back stretch

Today, I’m going to show you several stretches to include in your morning routine each day.

The first stretch helps to stretch and strengthen your lower back muscles, while the cat-cow pose helps stretch the thoracic spine and strengthens the mid-back.

The puppy pose on the wall stretches the front of the body and is also an excellent shoulder stretch, and the half down dog removes tension from the upper back and shoulders.

Next, I’ll show you an extension exercise that stretches the flexors and the psoas muscles. I also included a standing quad stretch because it’s great for posture. It can help loosen tight flexors, increase pelvic space, and help with walking.

The last stretch is my favorite! For many people, this stretch helps eliminate lower back pain.
