#Shorts 😩Low Back Pain? The most common culprit is having tight hips, NOT having a tight back. 😏 So, if you’re always trying to twist, arch and round your back to stretch it out, that’s probably not fixing anything.

✨ INSTEAD, stretch out your hips!! Especially your hip flexors and groin muscles (which are intertwined.)

Releasing constant tension through your hips will, in turn, release tension off your low back. 🙌

🐸This FROG STRETCH is one of my favorites to instantly feel that low back pain relief. It’s a little bit tricky to get into, especially for your knees, so make sure you’re on cushy carpet or even up on your bed.

🐸 Make sure your tailbone is not slumped under, otherwise you won’t feel much of a stretch.

🐸 Hold for 3-5 full, deep breaths or keep it dynamic by pressing back into the stretch, then releasing and coming forward.

Give this a try if you can and tell me how it feels for you!!
