@kristelfitnessforwomen: Stop stretching your lower back! 🛑👇 When your back feels tight, bending forward to touch your toes feels like it’s helping, but you are actually pulling on already-irritated nerves and putting massive pressure on your spinal discs. To get real relief, you have to stop stretching and start doing these three things: decompress the joints, stabilize the core, and turn on the glutes. 1️⃣ The Sphinx Pose: Hold for 15 seconds (Gently decompresses the spine and discs). 2️⃣ The Bird-Dog: 5 reps/side (Builds stability to protect your spine). 3️⃣ The Glute Bridge: 10 reps (Wakes up your glutes so they can support your weight). 💾 SAVE this Reel to pull up the next time you feel that lower back pinch, and share it with a friend who is always complaining about a stiff back! #backpain #lowerbackpain #mobility
