10 Lower Back Pain Treatments You Can Do At Home

5. Stretching

Low back pain may be caused by tight muscles. Stretching at home is an easy fix. Stretching throughout the day while at work is also a good way to prevent tight muscles. “Because most of us spend a lot of time bending forward in our jobs, it's important to stand up and stretch backward throughout the day,” says Reicherter. Many Pilates and yoga exercises target stretching of the lower back and can be done at home first thing in the morning to alleviate pain.
