Are you suffering from lower back pain?

Lower back pain can be a real roadblock, stemming from various sources like inactivity or strain. But here's the good news: relief might be closer than you think. Our team at  Regenesis Pain Management & Rehab Clinic has put together a set of easy yet highly effective exercises to help ease that discomfort.

In this blog post, we'll guide you through 3 exercises designed to target and soothe your lower back. Whether you're new to exercise or looking for a way to specifically tackle back pain, we've got you covered.

Exercise #1 - Segmented Cat-Cow

For this exercise, you'll need a thin elastic band. Rest the band on your lower back and position yourself on your hands and knees on a mat. Place your hands directly under your shoulders and your knees under your hips. Slowly round your back up and then arch your back down by pulling your abdomen towards the floor. Repeat 10-12 times.

Exercise #2 - Thoracic Rotation

For this exercise, you will need a foam roller. Start on all fours your spine in a neutral position. Place your foam roller to the outside of your body, on the opposite side that you want to stretch. Reach with the opposite hand and roll away from the body as far as possible. Repeat with opposite side.

Exercise #3 - Bow and Arrow (Lateral Flexion)

For this exercise, you will need to stand close to a wall or doorway. Begin by crossing one foot over another, holding on to the wall or door with both hands. With your feet planted firmly on the ground, draw your pelvis our as much as you can to the opposite side and hold for 5 seconds. Repeat on other side.
