Low back feeling stiff after a long week? Let’s reset it. 🔄
If you’ve been sitting, lifting, traveling, or just grinding through a busy schedule, your low back might be tight and irritated. Try these simple movements to get things moving again:
✅ Sciatic Nerve Floss
Sit tall, straighten one leg, pull your toes toward you, and gently slump forward. This helps mobilize the nerve and reduce tension.
✅ McKenzie Press Ups
Lie on your stomach, hands by your shoulders, and press your upper body up while keeping your hips relaxed.
If pain increases after 10–15 reps, stop the movement.
✅ Trunk Rotations
On your back with knees together, slowly rotate your hips side to side to restore mobility.
✅ Banded Decompression + Breathing
Place a band around your waist, lie back, and let it gently decompress your spine while you focus on slow, controlled breathing.
Consistency > intensity. Small daily resets can make a big difference in preventing flare-ups.
If your back pain isn’t improving or keeps coming back, our team at FIT Iowa can help you find the root cause and build a plan that lasts. 💪
