Starting off with a posterior pelvic tilt and a bridge can not only help stretch the back muscles, but they can also help strengthen them as well.



Next, a knee to chest stretch should help relax the muscles in the back and hips.


The last two achy back stretches are in a quadruped or all fours position. The cat/dog or cat/cow and the prayer stretch or child’s pose are great ways to help get the whole back and pelvis area moving and loosened up.
