Stretches for Lower Back Pain

Stretches for Lower Back Pain

Many patients are advised to do stretches for their lower back pain, including yoga based exercise and pilates. There is a lot of confusion from patients regarding the stretches that should be considered to support the management of lower back pain but should stretches be considered at all and can they even have a negative impact on back health?.

In this episode we discuss the research regarding stretches for lower back pain and why flexibility exercises are so often advised. We discuss some of the exercises we simply should be avoiding if we want to avoid aggravating a back problem whilst discussing the importance of introducing flexibility exercises for the hip. Whilst flexibility exercises may be beneficial for certain areas of the body they’re not necessarily helpful for the lower back.

Highlights

We discuss why a focus on hip flexibility may be more beneficial than stretching the lower back but why patients often feel stretching the lower back feels comfortable. We break down some of the stretches that you must avoid if you’re to successful resolve your lower back pain.
