Knee-to chest

This exercise helps to lengthen the lower back by relieving tension and pain.

• Lie with your knees and feel flat on the floor.

• Use both of your hands. Grab your right lower leg with your fingers. You can clasp your wrists under your knee.

• Hold your right knee for 30-60 seconds. Don’t forget to relax your legs, hips and lower back.
