Personal trainer shares this one move to relieve lower back tension and reduce stiffness in your spine, and it really works

I can’t say it enough: motion is lotion. If your muscles and joints feel sticky, you could benefit from a deep stretch or adding some extra movement to your day; this super-effective full-body exercise ticks the boxes for stretching and mobility. Tick, tick.

Before you dive in, I wouldn’t be doing my due diligence if I didn’t mention this lower back exercise might not be for everyone. While it can help ease some symptoms of sciatica and improve spine mobility, it isn’t a cure-all and shouldn’t replace the need for a proper medical assessment, diagnosis and physical therapy plan, should you need one. So, exercise with caution and avoid moving through pain.
