There have been a lot of posts about lower back tightness. So, to kick things off, Tom has shared with us his top three tips to loosen a tight lower back.

3 SIMPLE Tips to Loosen Your “Tight” Lower Back - by Coach Tom

(Videos of each step will be posted to the Facebook Group soon!)

1. Hang out in the bottom of an “active hinge” and spend time focusing on your breath. If your back is giving you signals that it isn’t happy, then give it a chance to spend time “releasing itself.” Your depth of breath will help stretch your back muscles while you are in this position.

2. Practice working your t-spine separately from your lower back. Sit on a chair, brace your core, push your hands together (try and feel your shoulders/chest working,) then turn your shoulders left and right slowly. You should feel like your upper back is turning, but your lower back is staying where it is.

3. Lacrosse ball your upper glutes. Lying on the floor with your knees bent and feet up. Place a tennis ball, lacrosse ball (or similar) under you, making sure it’s at the top of your butt cheeks, not on your spine or back muscles. Slowly and with some pressure roll side to side on the ball. Spend 2-3 mins doing this.
