    What are some back-stretching exercises?

    Dr. Himabindu Sreenivasulu

    MBBS · 1 years of exp

    Back-stretching exercises promote flexibility and relieve tension. Cat-cow stretch involves arching and rounding your back like a cat and cow. The child's pose entails kneeling, reaching your arms forward, and gently lowering your chest to your thighs. Standing forward involves folding at the hips and letting your upper body hang. Sphinx pose requires lying on your stomach and gently lifting your chest with your forearms on the ground. Cobra pose involves a more intense back extension, lifting your upper body while keeping your hips on the floor. These stretches can help alleviate back discomfort and improve overall flexibility.
