Stretch For Low Back Pain

this stretch is for people who are noticing pain when they’re going from a seated position into a standing position, and then the low back gets very tight, almost forces you to want sit back down. The reason that’s happening is because your PSOAs muscle has shortened, it adapted to you being sitting for a very long time, the body’s shortened that muscle.

What we have to do is elongate the muscle. There’s multiple ways to do it. One stretch. Is like this, have this foot flat, 90 degrees here, 90 degrees here. And then what we’re gonna do is actually go back into extension and then lean away. Notice how the anterior part of the body is being extended and we’re gonna stretch that.

PSOAs out if this is too difficult and adaptation. Is actually going into a seated position. You’re gonna fold the leg over, push down into that knee, and then lean into it that way. That’s gonna stretch out the back portion of the hip joint that it’ll be easier for you to get into this lunge position.
