Stretch of the Month - Back Flexion Stretch  

 

backl-flexion-stretchMany back pain patients know the feeling of tension in the back, especially first thing in the morning. This back stretch can help bring back some suppleness and increase mobility, decreasing back pain and discomfort.

While lying on your back, pull both knees to the chest while simultaneously flexing the head forward until a comfortable stretch is felt in a balled-up position.
