Stretches For one of the most effective back stretching exercises you want to have your feet planted firmly about 18" apart and then rotate your head and shoulders to the left as far as you can until you feel a slight bit of tension. Make sure that you do not push too far because if you do you can end up seriously injuring yourself. Hold this for a few seconds then slowly twist in the opposite direction and hold for a few more seconds. Those few seconds that you hold are what is giving your brain repeated signals of the normal and maximum allowed for muscle tension. Here is another of the best back stretching exercises that you can do. To complete it you need to start by standing or kneeling on the floor with your hands on your hips. Then you need to slowly arch the lower back and stick out your chest while slightly leaning backwards, and a comfortable stretch should be felt in the lower and mid back area. Hold this position for a count of about ten seconds. These are just a couple of ideas of the various stretches that are effective for the back and which you will want to try out.
