Description

A stretching exercise that targets the lower back muscles, performed while seated on a flat surface.

How to Do Seated Lower Back Stretch

1
Setup
Sit on the floor with your legs extended straight in front of you and your feet together.
2
Setup
Bend your knees slightly, allowing your feet to remain flat on the floor, hip-width apart.
3
Slowly round your lower back, initiating the movement by tucking your chin towards your chest and letting your upper body fold forward.
4
Reach your hands towards your shins, ankles, or feet, gently pulling yourself deeper into the stretch while maintaining a rounded spine.
5
Breathe deeply and hold the stretch, allowing your lower back muscles to release tension.

Tips

Focus on rounding through your lumbar spine rather than just hinging from your hips; imagine your belly button pulling towards your spine.
Use your breath to deepen the stretch: Inhale gently, and as you exhale, try to relax further into the forward fold.
Do not bounce or use jerky movements; a static hold allows the muscles to relax and lengthen safely.
If reaching your feet is difficult, hold onto your shins or place your hands on the floor beside your legs.

Common Mistakes

×Rounding only the upper back instead of the lower back; actively initiate the movement by tucking your pelvis and rounding from your lumbar spine.
×Holding your breath during the stretch; breathe slowly and deeply to facilitate muscle relaxation and improve flexibility.
×Bouncing into the stretch, which can cause muscle strain; instead, hold a gentle, continuous stretch without jerky movements.
