Pain whenever you are sitting
This lunge helps you to alleviate discomfort due to sitting for long hours at the desk, extensive periods of driving, too much couch sitting and for those with excessive posterior pelvic tilt. It is ideal for improving hip flexor flexibility.
Read this article about what to do when it hurts from too much sitting.
Pain when you stand for too long
Long hours of standing can worsen pelvic tilt and tighten your lower back. If you are experiencing a dull ache and require the need to sit often, this simple but challenging movement will benefit you.
This lunge also helps to return to neutral posture position.

When your back is stiff in the morning
Your hips, lower back and leg muscles tighten overnight
Use this shift to release tension and tightness. If you find it difficult to sleep due to tightness and stiffness, doing this movement regularly will relax those tight areas.
Read these articles about what it means when it hurts in the morning and tips to help you overcome it.
When spasms don’t go away
Spasms sometimes strike during a bending or twisting motion
This twist will help recondition weak muscles that can later trigger a ‘sudden’ spasm. Practice this often as it reduces your chance of spasm if you ‘reach for that object’ while in an awkward posture.
Read these articles about what you should do for your spasms and Tips to help with your spasms.
Tight hamstrings cause pain & stretching makes it worse
Tight hamstrings hurt your legs and back.
Poor hamstring stretches make it worse.
Use this exercise for relief. Avoid the common ‘lean forward to touch your toes’ method. This method is much safer and also helps to recondition your hips.
Read this article on why tight hamstrings are causing your discomfort.
Weak abdominals can worsen the pain
Weak abdominal muscles worsen anterior pelvic tilt
It is essential to perform this contraction routinely for relief. You can do it anytime you feel a dull ache while standing and feel the need to sit down. Practicing this as often as possible will relieve that dull ache in the lumbar region.
Read this article on why having weak abs are a big part of your problem.
Weak gluteal (cheek) muscles = back pain
Gluteal muscle activation is essential for proper lumbar support. This squat should be done every day. Chances are that you will find it difficult to perform at first. However, that is an indication of how much you should be incorporating it into your daily routine.
Sore buttocks? It’s your glute muscles.
Tight hips and weak glutes can hurt
Improve mobility and strength with this stretch/hold. You can perform it whenever you are sitting (watching TV). Raise and hold for minutes at a time for a more productive stretch in the hips and glutes.
An advanced hip technique for back problems
Hip muscle soreness and poor hip flexibility go hand in hand
This stretch increases hip flexibility to reduce hip muscle discomfort. Do not simply ‘lean forward’ but rather pull your belly button and pelvis into your thighs using your abdominals. Bend at the hips and not at the lower lumbar spine.
For stiff, tight and dull lumbar pain
Use this stretch to help release any tightness that you experience from chronic aches and stiffness. Perform for several minutes at a time per side and allow gravity to release your tension. Perform the STANDING ABDOMINAL stretch after to complement this movement.
