Back Pain?

Client: My back hurts.
Me: Stretch your hamstrings.
Client: You are obviously not listening.
Actually I am. Remember that everything is connected. Tight hamstrings cause the hip and pelvis to rotate back, which flattens the back and causes pain. This will also have an obvious impact on your posture.
The easiest fix is to focus on stretching out your hamstrings on a regular basis. Both dynamic stretching (Yoga, walking lunges, leg swings) and static stretching (sit and reach) with improve flexibility.
Here are a couple examples that I feel work the best.



Try both of these every day for two weeks and see if your back feels better!
