How does one start a stretching program? Are all stretches suitable for the back? You will find there's a specific approach to each and every stretch. So that stretch the muscles properly. Improper stretching might cause discouragement as well as more pain to your back. In addition, you will want to rub a  hemp cream or a cbd pain cream on your muscles before you do any of these stretches so that you get the muscles primed and ready to be stretched.

Below are a few stretches to help you get up and running. Utilize a pad or yoga mat to cushion your back and wear comfortable and flexible clothes.

• Flexing the back – Laying flat with your back on the pad, draw the knees to your upper body. Simultaneously, raise your head, aiming your chin to your chest. Hold for just a few seconds and go back to the starting position. Purposefully push your stomach in towards the ground simultaneously so there isn't any space between the small of your back and the ground.

• Leg stretch – Laying flat with your back on the pad and your knees bent, feet on the pad, reach and lace both hands behind one knee and draw it toward your chest. This stretch will work one hip flexor at a time. The hip flexors help support your lumbar region. Go back to the starting position and do the opposite leg.

• Cross leg stretch – Lay on your back with knees bent and feet on the pad. Just take one leg and cross it on the other a little above that knee. Hold it behind the bent knee of the lower-leg and draw the two legs to your upper body. Be cautious with this stretch and go slowly and gradually. It stretches the hip flexor, the lower back as well as the muscles of the butt which can play a role in back pain. Make sure you press your belly towards the ground to get rid of any space between the small of your back and the pad.

It doesn’t require much time to perform these basic stretches. Try to make stretching an integral part of your normal routine every day. Calm your mind and spirit and tone your body simultaneously. Then you will be ready to jump up and confront your busy day!
