10 Best Lower Back Stretches for Low Back Pain Relief - Ask Doctor Jo

The first three lower back stretches are the pelvic tilt, the cat/dog stretch, and trunk rotation stretch. These are a great way to start with to loosen up the low back and core muscles.

The fourth low back stretch is a trunk rotation with crossing the leg over the body. This will give you more of a stretch in your low back, and it might also adjust your back.

The next back pain stretches for the lower back are hamstring and hip flexor stretches. When either of these are tight, they can pull the pelvis one way or the other, and this can cause low back pain. Stretching them should relieve the tightness.

The prone press, single knee to chest, and double knee to chest are also great stretches. Make sure you know what is going on with your back though since for certain diagnoses, you might not want to do these.

The last low back stretch is the prayer stretch or child’s pose. It does a great job of stretching your whole body from your shoulders, upper back, lower back, hips, knees, and even your feet.

My doctor actually recommended your channel for my back pain due to endometriosis and lower back muscle pain and I couldn't be happier! I've been suffering for about 7 months with back pain that makes me toss and turn all night and moving frequently during the day and generally uncomfortable. These stretches have been so helpful in relieving my pain, super grateful so with that THANK YOU SO MUCH!!😊

[dyllanusher]

After packing up all my stuff for a move, I was really struggling with back pain. Thank you so much for this helpful list of stretches! you've taught me that tending to my lower back pain isn't all about my back, but areas around my back that help support it. Thanks again for the great video, I'll be coming back to it until I've learned this sequence by heart :)

Thanks Dr Jo! My shin splints is completely healed thanks to your advice. I struggle a bit with lower back pain due to boxing. I will be doing these stretches at the gym! Thank you!

[boozcheez]

What an instant fix. I was in so much pain until I did these. Thank you 🙏

[CrownedWithGloryReborn]

Thank you! That gave me some immediate relief. I am 45, not in bad physical shape at all, but went out bowling yesterday with my kids and my lower back hasn't been right since. Spent last night on ibuprofen and a heating pad (feeling so old!), but I have to get back to work today and your video helped. I immediately felt things popping back into place. Thank you!
