7 Stretches To Free Your Lower Back Pain Right Now

[hrunting]

As everyone else said, this is a HUGE no-no for the vast proportion of lower back problems, and could even cause some in healthy individuals. I can't believe we're still seeing this shit.

the hamstrings??? c'mon mannnn!

[augustusmanor]

why doesn't this guy let ther talk?

What happens in the chronic seated position is shortening of the hip flexors. For instance flexion of the leg at the hip is the shortening of the hipflexors in seated position and and flexion of the leg at the knee is shortening of the hamstrings. This means that in order to alleviate the chronic shortening of these muscles you need to focus on stretches for the hamstrings, and hipflexors, mainly the psoas major. In seated position (posterior pelvic tilt) the low back is already over stretched.

DONT STRETCH LOW BACK TO ALLEVIATE LOW BACK PAIN FROM CHRONIC SEATED POSITION.

@BlakeAnthonyLewis what you mean? then how?

[BlakeAnthonyLewis]

@tsuikjoshiomatsu What I mean is that typically in the seated position people tend to bring their pelvis into posterior rotation which is actually stretching the low back. The pain comes from the area being too relaxed and over stretched, and generally from a misbalance between the front and back.... so in this case if you stretch the low back, when the problem is coming from the area being overstretched from seated position you're going to aggrevate the problem.

Where is the scientific and medical evidence to support what you are teaching?

[Rowdyret86]

This is a pretty standard stretch, so if it get worse, it's probably because you did it wrong. Or you are too fat to do it.

These stretches make back pain worse...AVOID

You are actually contributing to the back pain by shortening up the all the core muscles (rectus abdominis, quadratus Lumborum, psoas, external obliques. This is the kind of misinformation that does more harm than good. If this truly worked on back pain.......why is it still such a chronic problem in our country. You are not alone in your thinking unfortunately.
