Stretches To Relieve Aches And Pain

Have Upper Back Pain?

Upper back pain is a little different from pain in the lower back and therefore will require some different stretches to relieve the ache. Here are a few useful ones:

Movement One: Windmills are a great stretch for the upper portion of your back. Stand up and lean over a little bit. Next, spread the arms out wide and swing back and forth. Rather than swing the arms only, swing the whole upper torso while keeping the feet planted.

Movement Two:Another way individuals can relieve aches and pains in the upper back is to stretch the hamstrings. When the hamstrings are tight, it can cause the whole back pain. To stretch your hamstrings and back at the same time, start by sitting on the ground. Next, spread the feet out and lie forward as far as one can as if trying to touch the face to the ground. Be sure to reach with the arms as well.
