Back Pain Relief Exercises & Stretches

Doctor Jo demonstrates a series of stretches and exercises to relieve general back pain in her YouTube video. These exercises include the pelvic tilt, bridge, knee to chest stretch, double knee to chest, trunk rotation, and a yoga vinyasa move combining planks, upward dog, and downward dog positions. The total number of repetitions varies for each exercise, and the goal is to gradually increase the number of repetitions to build strength and flexibility in the back muscles. Doctor Jo stresses the importance of safety while performing these exercises, and encourages viewers to have fun while improving their back health. These exercises can be done by anyone with a back tweak or soreness, regardless of specific diagnosis, and can provide long-term relief for individuals who suffer from chronic back pain.
