Back pain bending sideways or above your hips? Increase your comfort and flexibility.
3- Low Back Release
Release that hitch in your get up and go. Just be sure to LISTEN to your body and stay within your range of comfort when doing it. (Remember - be kind and partner with your body.)
4 - Abs Twist
Open up your abs to increase your flexibility and make your back happy too.
5 - Psoas Release
Be sure you are laying on your back with bent knees up and feet planted. Just pick up your foot about an inch off the bed or floor to activate the psoas under your fingertips. Be kind with your touch. If you have back issues they can be tender, often the opposite side. See what a difference this move can make for you.
