Child’s Pose- by Dr Rachel Goldsworthy

Child’s Pose

This is a go-to stretch for my back pain folks and one that I include in my daily stretching routine! If done correctly, it can give immediate relief in your tight back muscles.

How-To Steps:

Step 1:  _{Kneel with your knees as far apart as comfortable. (I like to keep my knees wide)}

Step 2: _{Slowly walk your hands forward. You may rest your head on the ground if it feel comfortable. Take three deep, slow breaths}

Step 3: _{Slowly walk your hands to one side, until you feel a gentle stretch. Take three deep slow breaths again}

Step 4: Repeat on the other side. Slowly walk your hands back up to a seated position. Spend as much time as comfortable holding each stretch.

*Never do an exercise that causes you pain*
