An Expert Says to Do These 5 Stretches to Relieve Lower-Back Pain

• Start kneeling on both knees. Place your right leg in front, creating a 90-degree angle in the knee joint. Keep a straight line from your head, shoulder, hip, and left knee. Your back foot should be flexed.
• Slowly tuck your pelvis into the "scared dog" position (a slight roll forward).
• This stretch will be felt in the front of your left hip and thigh.
• Hold for a minimum of 30 seconds. Repeat on the right side.

According to Rick, this stretch can alleviate pressure directly off the vertebral bodies and the discs in between.
