3 Amazing Stretches to Alleviate Lower Back Pain

The knee-to-chest stretch is a great way to relieve back pain after a long day at work or a workout mishap. Even better, this stretch can be done in your bed, so there is no excuse not to do it twice a day — when you wake up and right before you go to bed.

• Lie on your back with your legs extended.
• Gently bend your right knee into your chest. Clasp your hands in front of your shin and gently pull down to increase the stretch. Release any tension in your shoulders and neck.
• Keep your left leg relaxed in a comfortable position.
• Hold for 30 seconds and then repeat with the left knee bent.
