TIGHT Lower Back, Try This Standing Stretch Sequence

Does your lower back feel tight or compressed after sitting, standing, driving, or working at a computer? This standing lower back stretch sequence uses a sturdy chair, stool, or countertop to help open the calves, hamstrings, hips, and the entire back line of your body, without requiring you to get down on the floor. A tight lower back does not always need to be stretched harder. Sometimes the more intelligent place to begin is lower in the body. In this chair-supported mobility routine, we begin with calf stretches, hamstring stretches, ankle mobility, and foot dorsiflexion. From there, we move into a wide supported squat, spinal lengthening, gentle flexion and extension, breathing into the back, and a final side-body stretch for the ribs and lower spine. You will work on: • Calf and hamstring flexibility • Ankle mobility and foot movement • Hip mobility and supported squatting • Length through the spine and back body • Gentle movement for lower back tension • A practical standing computer-break routine All you need is something sturdy to hold onto and a few minutes to let your body move from the ground up. Move slowly and stay within a range that feels supported. The goal is not to force the biggest stretch. Notice where your body begins to soften, lengthen, or move more freely. Would you consider yourself adventurous enough to explore whether your back needs you to begin somewhere else? Tell me in the comments where you felt the greatest change: your calves, hamstrings, hips, ribs, or lower back. Explore the Years Younger Membership: https://www.kerriaffronti.com/years-y...
