Try This Hip Flexor Stretch for Relief
🔥 If your low back feels stiff, achy, or “locked up,” your hips may be the real culprit.
Tight hip flexors can pull your pelvis forward, increase stress on your lower back, and make everyday movement feel harder than it should. The good news? A simple stretch can help restore hip mobility and reduce back tension.
How to do it:
✅ Step one foot forward into a lunge position with the back knee on the floor
✅ Gently tuck your pelvis (avoid arching your lower back)
✅ Shift your weight forward until you feel a stretch in the front of the hip
✅ Hold for 2–3 slow breaths (~15 seconds)
✅ Repeat 3 times per side, breathing deeply
🏆 Progression:
Reach the arm on the same side as the back leg overhead to increase the stretch through the hip and spine.
💡 Why this helps:
Opening the hip flexors reduces excessive pull on the lumbar spine, improves posture, and often leads to noticeable relief in low back discomfort.
