If you suffer from low back pain, you know it’s no joke! I’ve been dealing with back issues since I was a teenager, thanks to a cheerleading injury and a fall while ice skating. Low back pain can flare up unexpectedly and be quite debilitating. Stretching can often provide relief—stretches like the **pigeon pose** (which opens the hips and releases tension in the lower back) or seated stretches that target the hips and back are helpful. Alternating between heat and ice is another method to reduce pain and inflammation. I’m always looking for new ways to manage back pain, so if you have any recommendations, feel free to share! #lowbackpain #backpain #asknostr #nostr #yogamom #plebchain

Hey @Kristin Carrera ☺️ You could look into the McGill "Big Three". These are three exercises targeting to strengthen your core without much spinal flexion (rounding of your back). After doing these regularly You can also get into strengthening your "Core" muscles (spinal erectors, abdominals, obliques, glutes ...) even further to take tension away from your spine. I can always provide You with training programmes or advice, but start with the "Big Three" and my next point -> As boring as that sounds walking in general is a great activity for healing your back! Dont just rely on stretching. Its great to relieve pain in the short term but strengthening the musculature is key in the long run!
