Have you ever had backache? Four out of five of us will experience back pain at some stage according to the charity BackCare, and the NHS spends more than one billion treating the condition. Here we have a number of gentle daily exercises that will increase the flexibility of your back:
These exercises should be carried out slowly and deliberately each day. If you have a pain when you perform any of them, limit the particular exercise movement so that you are comfortable.
If you feel pain when you start any movement, then it should not be carried out.
Starting position
The starting position for all exercises is on all fours.
Hands should be placed shoulder width apart, arms and thighs vertical.
Use an exercise mat if you have one.
