Three Levels of Yoga to Relieve Lower Back Pain
The stretches and 15-minute yoga routine I�m going to outline in this article are designed to relieve tightness in the lower back and correct muscular imbalances that are often present with back pain. They may not be suitable for more severe conditions including muscle spasms, disk injuries or spondylolisthesis.
If you're injured, please check with your doctor or physical therapist that it's safe for you to do these exercises.

These lower back pain stretches use back flexion stretches to help open up the joint spaces in the back to take pressure off the nerves. There are also some hamstrings and calves stretches to prevent pulling on the pelvis and spine, which can cause back pain. If you are having some stiffness in your lower back, or if you have been diagnosed with spinal stenosis or degenerative disc disease (DDD), these stretches will help relieve some pain. These will also help if you are having some numbness or tingling down one of your legs. Sometimes pain in the hips, knees, and even feet can actually be coming from your back.
