Lower back pain is the absolute worst. Sometimes it’s muscular and sometimes it’s structural. Have I ever experienced lower back pain? Absolutely! I am going to let you in on a little secret - my torso is super long and my legs are super short. I always feel like I am rounding my lower back, especially when I am sitting. I feel like too often I am struggling with lower back pain.

Something important to keep in mind is that your lower back is connected to what feels like your whole body. People deal with different struggles depending on their body anatomy. Some people have super weak hamstrings (the back of your legs); some people have weak glutes (the BOOTY); some people have a super weak core. All of which can result in lower back pain. If you have lower back pain, does this mean you are included in one of those categories? Absolutely not, there are a slew of issues that are responsible for lower back pain.

There are so many different exercises that can help release the tension and pain in your lower back. Some of these exercises and stretches have made a tremendous difference for me.
