7 Must-Do Stretches for Back Pain Relief [Stretch 4 ]

#4 – 90/90 Hip Flexor Stretch

 Start with kneeling on the floor in a 90/90 position. Back leg and front leg are in 90 degree with ankle, knee and hips. Tighten the abdominal area and bring the hips forward. Contract the glute as you bringing things forward. Stretch the front of the hip and front of the thigh and hold to that position. Maintain a good alignment with the rest of the body; hip, shoulders and head. The leg behind the hip will target the hip flexors and one of the quadriceps muscles.

This is an effective stretching and flexibility exercise that helps in relieving hip pain, knee pain and back pain.

Perform 1 set of 2 reps on each side alternating back and forth with 20 seconds hold at the end position. The intensity is light with light stretch. You will get more benefit doing a light stretch than a stronger stretch.
