How to Relieve Your Back Pain

I've never believed that yoga stretches would relieve my back pain. I thought it would make it worse so, I would just take an aspirin, lay down, and hope for the best. It didn't work!
So, I tried the Yoga stretches, relieved my pain and gave me relaxation.

Yoga stretches definitely help relieve your back pain.

Instructions

  Lay down on a firm surface ( yoga mat, floor, carpet or grass).
  Lay flat with your knees bent and your hands flat beside you.
  Relax, breath in and out through your nose.
  I do it for about 30-45 seconds.

  Then, tilt your head back a little and hold for a couple of seconds.
  Repeat this exercise 5 times, and of course continue to breath in and out through your nose.

  Lastly, to help your upper back, roll your shoulders up and down.
  I do it 8-10 good shoulder rolls.
  Doing these yoga stretches and rolls ease my back pain!
