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

• Start in a kneeling position. Extend your left leg directly out to your left side. Tuck your hips into the "scared dog" position (a slight roll forward) for a deeper stretch.
• This stretch should be felt on the inner thigh of your left leg.
• Hold for 30 seconds. Complete the same stretch on your right leg.

Rick said that when your adductors are tight, they can pull your pelvis forward, causing your lumbar spine to be compressed.
