Docklands Health Top 3 Tips for Relief From Low Back Pain

These exercises are only suggested to people who have sought the attention of a medical practitioner first.

1. Prone Lumbar Extension- Lying face down on the ground prop yourself up onto your elbows. In this position it is important to keep your pelvis relaxed so that the low back can remain in a relaxed position. Hold this position for 30 seconds.

2. Child position- go down onto your knees and then sit on your heels. Lean forward so that your forehead is on the ground and place your arms extended behind you with your hands next to your ankles. Again we suggest you hold this position for 30 seconds.

3. Thread the needle- Finally come up onto all fours. With your hands underneath your shoulder and knees under your hips bring one of your arms across your body through the gap between your other arm and leg, then return to the starting position. Repeat this on the opposite side. We recommend doing this 10 times on each side.
