Back Pain

2-3 sets 8-10 reps

1. Knee Rolls

  • Begin lying down with your knees pointing towards the ceiling. Slowly roll your knees to the right.
  • Hold for a few seconds and then raise the knees so that they are pointing towards the ceiling again.
  • Repeat on the opposite side

2. Pelvic Tilts

  • Lying on your back, place both hands on your hips. Slowly tilt your hips towards the bed to flatten your back into the bed.
  • Hold for 2 seconds and then tilt your hips in the opposite direction. This should increase the space between your lower back and the bed. Relax before repeating again.

3. Single Knee Hug

  • Lying on your back, bring one knee up towards your chest. The other knee should be pointing towards the ceiling.
  • Hold for a few seconds then slowly release.

4. Double Knee Hug

  • Lying on your back, slowly bring your knees in towards your chest. You can place the hands over the knees to feel the stretch a little deeper.
  • Slowly release the knee hug.

5. Cat Camel

  • Place your knees on the floor or on your bed with a little space between them. Keeping your back straight, place your hands on the floor in front. Your hands should be in line with your shoulders.
  • Gently pull your spine upwards. Tilt your chin in towards the chest at the same time.
  • Slowly uncurl the back. Now push your chest towards the ground and tilt your head gently towards the ceiling. Hold and then release.
