In this short video, the presenter offers a quick routine of three stretches aimed at alleviating lower back pain. The sequence begins with the cat‑cow stretch, alternating spinal flexion and extension to release tension. Next, the child’s pose is demonstrated, where the viewer sits back on the heels and extends the arms forward to open the lumbar region. Finally, the figure‑four stretch is shown: lying on the back, crossing one ankle over the opposite knee and pulling the leg toward the chest to loosen tight hips that can contribute to back discomfort. Each stretch is recommended for about 30 seconds, and viewers are invited to comment on which stretch helped them most.
