Back Pain Relief Exercises – 5 Minute Real Time Routine
This back pain relief exercises routine can help strengthen, relieve pain, and loosen up the muscles around the back and the hip area. These back exercises are done in real time, so it’s easy to follow along with the routine.
Start this back routine with a warmup. Seated trunk rotation, thoracic sidebend, and seated Ts will help get the back muscles warm and loose.
