You keep stretching your back… but what if your back isn’t the only thing that needs attention?
If you sit for hours every day, your hips spend a long time in the same position. For some people, getting those hips moving can make standing, walking and bending feel a whole lot easier.
That’s why I like the kneeling hip flexor stretch.
Not because it’s some miracle fix.
But because back pain is rarely as simple as “my back hurts, so I need to stretch my back.”
The area that hurts isn’t always the only area worth working on.
Your hips, strength, daily load, movement, sleep and stress can all play a part.
So if your back keeps flaring up, don’t just keep attacking the painful spot.
Zoom out. Look at the whole picture.
Save this and try it later — and if back pain is starting to run your life, get it properly assessed.
Follow for simple physio advice without the fear-mongering.
