Many people experience lower back pain from time to time. Whether this pain is severe, chronic, or mild and short-lived; it often causes grief in your day to day activities. You may have a healthy diet, but the lower back pain is due to sedentary lifestyle or heavy usage of your back.

My personal experience:

I want to share the struggle a client of mine went through because of lower back pain and how she solved it naturally without surgery by doing stretches for her lower back pain. She suffered from severe lower back pain that went from the waist to her left leg after suffering from dengue.The pain was intense as she was unable to sit or walk. She was screaming, even went to the emergency for one night and was admitted to the Hospital. However, her x-rays and MRI was clear. Initially, she took medication. The medications yielded short-term pain relief, but she got permanent relief from pain only with the help of stretches for lower back pain.

I would like to share some comfortable and most effective stretches for lower back pain relief so that it can be naturally cured without any surgery.

Knee to chest stretch:

You should lie on the surface of the floor in a relaxed position. Relax yourself by focusing your attention on your breath. Pull the right knee towards your chest and simultaneously straighten the left leg. Hold the position for five seconds and do the same with your left leg. Bring it slowly and repeat for at least five times. This helps in stretching your glutes and hip flexors, which help to alleviate pain and release tension in the spine.

Prayer stretch:

You should sit back so your buttocks rest on your heels. Reach your hand forward so that you can lengthen your spine and feel the stress in your middle back. Hold the position for five seconds and repeat three times.

Abdomen raise stretch:

You should be lying on the surface with the bent knees, feet flat, arms at sides and palms down. Tighten your muscles and slowly raise the lower back and buttocks, hold the position for five seconds. Relax then repeat the same stretch five times.

Standing hamstring Stretch:

For doing standing hamstring stretches you should stand upright and raise your leg on a chair. keep your legs straight with your toes pointing straight up. You should lean forward by keeping your leg and back straight. Repeat the same for the opposite leg.

Make it a habit of doing these stretches for lower back pain and your pain will subside.
