Why?

Too many people start stretching without knowing what they need to stretch. The first step is always assessing where your problems are. You must know which muscles are tight, which joints are not moving correctly and then you can target the causes of your back pain.

Like I said. Huge mistake!

Did you know the biggest mistake in low back pain relief is stretching incorrectly? Sure you need to know what to stretch, but more importantly you should know how to stretch.

What you need to know is this: stretch only to the point of a "pulling" sensation and not pain. Only use effective stretches, those that create a rebound relaxation of the muscle. Then the muscle will relax more and for longer. Make sure you are positioned right - if do not have the right position you can actually traumatize the muscle, leading to it becoming even tighter.

If you plan to stretch to relieve lower back pain, then stretching correctly is the key. Your muscles should relax, your back pain eases and you can enjoy life again without back pain.

Don't make the common mistake of stretching poorly. Lower back pain relief is a simple process, stretching correctly is the first step to help ease your pain. Make sure you stretch correctly.
