2 simple postures to relieve lower back pain

there are basically 2 simple postures you can do when experiencing lower back pain or stiffness. The first is simply lying on your back and bringing your knees toward your chest for 3-5 minutes. Do not bounce the legs, but simply hold them toward your chest. your head should be relaxed and breathe easily. The second posture is easily achieved by placing your legs up onto a couch or chair. The hips and knees are at 90degree angles and the head and back are relaxed. maintain this position for 20 or more minutes. If the discomfort persists, call your doctor of chiropractic for an evaluation and adjustment.
