- Knee to Chest:Use this stretch to align pelvis and stretch lower back and rear end muscles. Lie flat on your back with toes pointed to the sky. Slowly bend your right knee and pull your leg up to you chest. Wrap your arms around your thigh, knee or shin, and gently pull the knee towards your chest. Hold for 20 seconds and slowly extend the leg to starting position. Repeat three times each leg. Lying Knee TwistUse this movement to stretch the paraspinal muscles and strengthen the abdominal muscles. Lie on your back with your legs extended straight out. Bend the right knee up and cross it over the left side of your body. Hold in a position that allows you to feel a gentle stretch through the back and buttocks muscles for 20 seconds. Tighten your core muscles and rotate back to center. Repeat three times on each side.Yoga Cat/CowStart this more by kneeling on all fours with your hands beneath your shoulders and your knees directly below your hips. Exhale and gently arch your spine. Inhale, tighten your core muscles and round your back, like a cat. Move slowly between movements and hold in each position for 5-10 seconds. Repeat 10 times.Cobra StretchThis movement is helpful to stretch tight abdominal muscles and the lower back. Start by lying on your stomach with your legs extended and with palms planted on either side of your head with your forearms and elbows flat on the ground. Slowly, push your body upwards, so your weight is resting on your forearms. Be sure to keep your hips on the ground. Once you reach a comfortable position that gently stretches your abdominal muscles and lower back, hold for 10 seconds. Slowly return to starting position and repeat five times. If you have more flexibility in your lower back, try straightening your arms.
- Kneeling ExtensionStart this move by kneeling on all fours with your hands beneath your shoulders and your knees directly below your hips. Tighten your core muscles and slowly lift your right arm and extend it straight forward. Slowly lift your left leg and extend it straight back, with your toes pointed down. Hold for 10 seconds and slowly lower to starting position. Repeat three times on each side. If this movement is too advanced, try the easy modifications of this movement, lifting just an arm (lower left photo) or just a leg (lower right photo). Hold for 10 seconds and slowly return to starting position. Repeat three times on each side.Hip LiftsTo strengthen you core muscles, lower back and buttocks, try this simple exercise. Lie on your back with your knees bent and with your arms flat on the floor on either side of you. Rotating your pelvis and tailbone down, tighten your core muscles and push your lower back into the floor. Holding this position, slowly lift your midsection off the ground, using your legs, arms and shoulders to balance. Hold in an elevated position for 10 seconds, and slowly lower to starting position, relaxing the core muscles. Repeat five times.Abdominal Chair CrunchHaving a strong core can help you reduce lower back pain. Try this chair crunch to increase abdominal strength. Lying on your back with your lower legs resting comfortably on a chair, place your fingers gently behind you head and lift your chin to the ceiling. Tighten your abdominal muscles and use these muscles to slowly elevate your shoulders off of the floor – this will cause your stomach to crunch together and you core muscles to contract. Slowly lower back to starting position. Repeat a series of 10, three times, adding more as your core gets stronger.
- When seated, your chest should be lifted, to avoid rolling the shoulders and slouching forward. In addition, you should not lean back too far putting your weight on your tailbone, as that may lead to low back pain. Try to keep your feet directly below the knees.
- According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), more than one million workers suffer back injuries each year, with back injuries accounting for one out of every five workplace injuries and illnesses.A BLS survey shows that four out of five of these injuries were to the lower back, and that three out of four occurred while lifting.

- Seated TurnStart this exercise in a seated position with your chest lifted and your back straight. Gently turn your shoulders and head to one side; this will slowly turn your upper body. Use your chair arm, or the outside of your knee to help stabilize your position and hold for 15 seconds. Slowly twist your body back to starting position. Repeat three times on each side.Seated Side BendStart in an upright seated position with your feet flat on the floor. With an exercise band or strap in your hands, raise your arms above your head with your arms shoulder distance apart. Be sure to keep your shoulders pressed down. Slowly bend to one side, keeping your arms the same distance apart and your shoulders pressed down. Hold in bent position for 5 seconds and slowly return to starting position, hold 5 seconds. Repeat three times on each side for a gentle stretch of the upper back, shoulders and arms.
- Seated Neck StretchSit with your back straight, chest high and with your weight equally distributed on your sitting bones. Slowly bend you neck to the side and hold in a comfortable stretching position for 15 seconds and return to starting position, repeat three times on each side. You can gently use your arm to aid you, if needed. Standing Chair Forward BendThis stretch is helpful to do throughout the day to break up long periods of sitting. Stand with your feet hip distance apart and three to four feet from the back of your chair. Hold onto your chair as a point of balance and slowly bend forward to a comfortable position, keeping a soft bend in the knees. You should feel a nice stretch through your arms, shoulders and back. To increase the stretch into the back of your legs, bend forward even more using your hands to balance. Hold stretch for 20 seconds and repeat three times.
