How to Stretch Your Lower Back safely starts with slow, mindful movements that release tension and improve flexibility. Begin by lying on your back and gently pulling your knees toward your chest, holding for a few breaths to relax tight muscles. You can also try a seated forward bend, keeping your spine long while reaching toward your toes without forcing the stretch. Gentle yoga poses like Child’s Pose and Cat-Cow help increase mobility, reduce stiffness, and support spinal health. Practicing these stretches daily for a few minutes can ease discomfort, improve posture, and promote overall relaxation. Stretch slowly, breathe deeply, and avoid bouncing to prevent strain on the lower back.
