Aspen Rehab: Why Do My Back & Neck Hurt?

Extension in Standing (Lumbar Extension) • Stand with feet about shoulder- width apart and hands in the small of the lower back. • Slowly bend backward as far as possible without forcing the movement. • Take a deep breath, exhale, and allow yourself to relax fully into the position. • Repeat 5-10 repetitions 3-5 times daily (more if desired). This is a movement, not a stretch, so go as far as possible but stay only 1-2 seconds maximum.
