Starting off with a posterior pelvic tilt and a bridge can not only help stretch the back muscles, but they can also help strengthen them as well.
Next, a knee to chest stretch should help relax the muscles in the back and hips.
The last two achy back stretches are in a quadruped or all fours position. The cat/dog or cat/cow and the prayer stretch or child’s pose are great ways to help get the whole back and pelvis area moving and loosened up.

Better Posture for a Better Life Through Chiropractic CareJust what is posture, as it refers to the body? “A position of the body or of body parts: a sitting posture. An attitude; a pose: assumed a posture of angry defiance. A characteristic way of bearing one’s body; carriage: stood with good posture. A frame of mind affecting one’s thoughts or behavior; an overall attitude.”* Simply put, it is a position and an attitude. You can tell alot about a person through their posture. You can see if someone is in pain, if they are confident, in a bad mood and some people are professional posture readers (body language). Posture tells us many things and it is constantly changing. Many of us could not get into a “good” posture if we tried, due to all the work we have put into “bad” posture. At some point in our lives, most of us have probably been told to “stop slouching!” Turns out, that was better advice than imagined
