Are you having tight hamstrings or low-back pain after sitting for a long time? Try this tight hamstrings relief exercise for low back pain. Keep reading below 👇

It is common to experience tight hamstrings or tight hip flexors after sitting for a long time. During the short term, this is normal. However over time, the body will find ways to compensate to support the sitting action and lead to low back tightness and eventually low back pain if paired with a sedentary lifestyle. Today, I’m going to show you a simple self-test and self-treatment to help with your tight hamstrings and lower back pain from sitting for long periods. 💪🏽

Self-Test
1️⃣- Place both feet together and try to bend over to reach for your toes. If this movement triggers or recreates your tight hamstring sensation or familiar low back pain, that is a very good sign that your body is trying to tell you to take a break from sitting. 

Self-Treatment
2️⃣- Back-bends! Place your feet shoulder-width apart and hands around your waist. Then slowly bend backwards like you’re trying to look behind you. Do this for 20 reps and then RETEST the forward bend to reach for your toes and check to see if the hamstring tightness has reduced, your lower back pain is gone or reduced, and you can reach further down. 

❗Please remember, you should NOT ❌feel more low back pain while doing this exercise. If you do and have questions, please STOP the exercise and give us a call!
