2. Child's Pose

The child's pose is a relaxing stretch that targets the lower back muscles. Kneel down on the floor and sit back on your heels. Slowly lower your upper body forward, extending your arms in front of you. Relax and hold this position for 30 seconds to 1 minute while taking deep breaths. Feel the gentle stretch in your lower back as you unwind and let go of any tension.

3. Bird Dog

The bird dog exercise is a great way to strengthen your core muscles while promoting stability and balance. Start on all fours, with your hands directly under your shoulders and your knees under your hips. Extend your right arm forward and your left leg backward, making sure to keep your spine straight and parallel to the ground. Hold this position for a few seconds and then switch sides. Perform 10-12 reps on each side.

4. Bridge Pose

The bridge pose is an effective exercise for strengthening the glutes and core muscles, which play a vital role in supporting the lower back. Lie on your back with your knees bent and your feet flat on the ground. Slowly lift your hips off the ground, squeezing your glutes as you raise them. Hold the position for a few seconds and then lower back down. Aim for 10-12 repetitions.

5. Pelvic Tilt

The pelvic tilt exercise helps to strengthen the abdominal muscles and improve stability in the lower back. Lie on your back with your knees bent and your feet flat on the ground. Gently tilt your pelvis upward, pressing your lower back against the floor. Hold for a few seconds and release. Repeat this movement for 10-15 reps, focusing on engaging your core muscles.

6. Cobra Stretch

The cobra stretch is a fantastic exercise for stretching the muscles in your lower back and promoting spinal flexibility. Lie on your stomach with your legs extended behind you and your palms placed on the ground near your chest. Slowly lift your upper body off the ground, using your arms to support you. Keep your hips and legs pressed against the ground. Hold this position for 15-30 seconds and repeat a few times.

7. Hamstring Stretches

Tight hamstrings can contribute to back pain, so it's crucial to stretch these muscles regularly. You can perform a seated hamstring stretch by sitting on the edge of a chair with one leg extended straight in front of you. Keep your back straight and your toes pointing up. Lean forward slightly from your hips until you feel a gentle stretch in the back of the thigh. Hold for 30 seconds and then switch legs.

8. Walking

Walking is a low-impact exercise that can greatly help alleviate back pain. It helps to strengthen the muscles that support the spine while improving overall posture and flexibility. Aim for at least 30 minutes of brisk walking every day to enjoy the benefits.

Remember, consistency is key when it comes to exercise. Start with these exercises and gradually increase the intensity and duration as your back pain subsides. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new exercise program, especially if you have a history of back problems.

By incorporating these exercises into your routine, you can take proactive steps towards relieving back pain and improving your quality of life. Don't let back pain hold you back any longer – start your journey towards a pain-free back today!
