The Salute to the Sun is an excellent stretch for everything from your hamstrings to your shoulders and its quick and easy to do once you have got the hang of it.

If you’re new to this type of exercise take it easy at first. If your back is hurting right now, be extra careful and gentle.

As you go through various parts of the exercise you will feel a strong pull in your hamstrings and again in your shoulders as you put your head in between your arms. That’s good just hold the stretch - even if there is some discomfort (as long as there isn’t pain) for 10 seconds then release, rest and do it again.

With lower back pain, one of the first things to do is to start to gently loosen the muscles and ligaments, so they become more flexible.

Stiff and tense mucles are always liable to tighten up or “freeze”. In doing so they are likely to cause pain because they put strain and pressure on surrounding joints, nerves and soft tissues in your back.

Also. if your back is stiff is less able to move properly and thus more likely to get injured. This is really a viscious circle that you need to break.

It is also why most doctors now recommend you become mobile as soon as possible after a back injury.

In doing any exercise do not cause yourself pain. A little discomfort is Ok, but if you experience any sharp pains stop immediately.
