How Do You Loosen A Tight Lower Back?

A tight lower back often results from muscle tension, poor posture, or inactivity. The key is to combine movement, stretching, heat therapy, and hydration.
Proven Techniques
- Dynamic Stretching (pelvic tilts, bridges, cat-cow)
- Static Stretching (child’s pose, hamstring stretches, knees-to-chest)
- Heat Therapy (heating pad for 15 – 20 minutes)
- Foam Rolling (avoid direct pressure on spine, target glutes, hips, and hamstrings)
- Gentle Walking (boosts blood flow and reduces stiffness)
Avoid – Long periods of sitting or lying down without movement, especially with poor posture.
