Stop stretching your lower back! Do these 4 exercises instead. 🛑
If your lower back feels tight all day and your first instinct is to endlessly bend forward and stretch it out, you might be keeping yourself stuck in a cycle of irritation. Often, lower back tightness isn't a flexibility issue—it's a lack of stability, rotational control, and multi-planar strength.
Try these 4 band-resisted movements instead to build actual capacity and resilience:
- Controlled hinge & rotation to challenge spinal stability under tension.
- Lateral flexion work to strengthen the obliques and lateral stabilizers.
- Dynamic rotational loading to improve force transfer through the core.
- Anti-flexion/extension pressing to lock in core bracing during movement.
