If you find yourself sitting for most of the day you may find that you frequently suffer from aches and pains. One way to help relieve these aches and pains is to set some time aside each day to do a series of simple stretches. These stretches are designed so they can be done anywhere – they don’t require any equipment and they wont take up much of your time.
The reverse of the previous flexion stretch. This stretch is great for opening up the shoulders and upper back. You may also find that you get a gentle hamstring stretch. Combining both the flexion and extension stretches each day will ensure you get a through stretch through all areas of the back.
Keep your eyes peeled for the next video in the series which will have a focus on spinal rotation.
