Everyday Exercises for Lower Back Pain

Knee Rocks

• Lie on your back with your legs bent and your feet flat on the floor
• Extend your arms at a 45 degree angle to your trunk with your palms facing downwards
• Now rotate your legs to the left to the limit of your ability, make sure the opposite shoulder remains in contact with the floor throughout the movement
• Move back to the neutral position and repeat, alternating sides for the desired number of repetitions. Do not rotate the legs to a point beyond which the arms and shoulders can no longer maintain contact with the floor
• Perform this exercise in a slow controlled manner within the range of your mobility

Cat Camel 

• A popular stretch in yoga. Start on your hands and knees with your back in a neutral position
• Arch your back, lifting your head up and pushing your tail bone out, making a dish with your spine
• Hold this position
• Next, bend your back up by tucking your head and tail bone in and pulling your belly button in towards your spine, making a curve through your back
• Hold this position, and then repeat
