Stretching Exercises For Lower Back Pain

If you are a couch potato (or even if yu are not !) and suffer from lower back pain, here are a few tips for a few stretching exercises which will really help. So dress down, lie on the floor and stop being lazy !

Stretching exercises are important because they help to maintain flexibility, something that declines as people age and become less active. Stretching exercises are also important in keeping the body limber and flexible and increasing blood circulation. Stretching exercises are also sometimes performed by leaning against a wall so as to provide some leverage. If you can't do endurance or strength exercises for some reason, and stretching exercises are the only kind you are able to do, do them at least 3 times a week, for at least 20 minutes each session.

If stretching exercises are the only kind of exercise you are able to do, do them at least 3 times a week, up to every day. Back stretching exercise can help relieve your lower back pain. Most of us have suffered from back pain because of many reasons, such as: sleeping in the wrong position in bed, sitting in an uncomfortable chair at work, standing on high heels or lifting heavy weights; whatever the reason, back pain can be very painful, at times inconveniencing most of your work because you cannot move in certain positions. Sciatica and lower back pain can be helped by stretching.
