It can be remarkably difficult to figure out how to safely stretch your lower-back muscles without guidance. I have issues with lower-back pain, not helped by being primarily a stomach sleeper, and I am always looking for effective ways to relieve tension in the area without causing damage.
I spoke to Devin Trachman, PT, DPT, MTC, an orthopedic physical therapist for Physical Therapy Central in Oklahoma City. Trachman recommended several stretches to me, but one has stood out. In just seven days, the bretzel has made a big difference to how I feel and it's easy to fit into my day. I've taken to doing it every morning before I get out of bed.
