Stretching for Back 

Positioning 

The relaxed and comfortable position for stretching exercise is a must. Lie on a flat surface on your back with your legs stretched fully. Clothing should be tight but loose enough to avoid block of blood circulation and there should not be any hindrance to the movements while doing stretching. One leg should be bent such that the heels of bent leg touch the knee of the other leg. Hands should lie horizontal with the shoulders on the floor. 

Exercising 

The right leg should be bent with its heel placed on the knee of left leg. Abdomen should be pulled in and your left hand should lie on the floor horizontally in line with your shoulder. With strains on your back, twist yourself towards your right side and hold the position for few seconds with inhalation. Repeat the same procedure for the other side of the body. Make sure that your leg which is stretched does not pop up and come out of position to support the strain. Jerking the body should be avoided as much as possible as it decrease the efficiency of the exercise.
