WORKS FAST! Best Stretches For Low Back Pain - From a Physical Therapist

Low back pain makes up the majority of cases that I see everyday in my physical therapy clinic. Oftentimes decreasing pain and stretching these tight, sore muscles is the first step to recovery.
Here are four great stretches I recommend most commonly for lumbar spine pain.
Please note - not all back pain is created equally. That said these exercises MIGHT not be the best for your specific case. I encourage you to consult your medical healthcare professional about your pain to determine the best plan of care for your individual needs.

Oh wow! That helped immensely! My lower back has been killing me and it hurts to bend over, but after doing those stretches, it basically almost all went away! I can't thank you enough!

I just recently discovered your videos and immediately found them to be to the point and with very clear instructions. Youtube and internet is a wild wild jungle when it comes to instructions for various health conditions; 95% of the content is complete rubbish. It is a rare skill to be able to explain health conditions clearly - you have that skill. Thank you very much for your videos. I have already learned a lot and will continue learning more!

Would love to see a video on good hip flexor stretches for people that sit all day... sometimes I feel my femur and hip are disconnecting...

Hi Jared,
I found your back exercise videos a few months ago on YouTube. I have dounf them very helpful indeed. I have chronic back pain and it's been years ! I have had lots of physio to help with my 90°posture but the pain is not getting any better. Do you think possibly surgery could help ?

I have a daily corrective routine for Anterior Pelvic Tilt. Involves strengthening abs + glutes, and stretching hip flexors + erector spinae. Do you think the 4 exercises you showed are a good choice for adding to my routine (stretching erector spinae)? good idea to do these after squats/deadlifts in order to decompress the spine?

[riniemawati]

Amazing that's work, thank you very much

I was wondering if you have any stretches or self massages that will help my lower back pain. I had lower back surgery 8 years ago and I still find that I get pain in that area. I do my stretching and apply heat but Im just wondering if thwres anything more I can do because I hate pain meds.

Hi, may I ask is it OK to do these exercises while your lower back is in pain?

[meagan]

Do you have videos on hip stretches?/ tight hips? Thanks!

Hi, I really need your help! I have a really bad lower left back pain from my desk job. 180cm tall 90kgs. I train BJJ 4 times a week so whole body always in pain. I have a slight tear on my left knee medial meniscus so do you have any exercises / stretches / strengthening / conditioning that can help my knees and lower back? Thank you!
