If you’re looking for relief from a tight and aching lower back, the solution may not be found in the lower back but in the musculature above and below it.
If you suffer from lower back pain, and it’s not from an injury, you could very well have issues with the mobility of your hips and thoracic spine (midback). Our ankles, hips, and thoracic spine are designed for mobility in contrast to the cervical (neck) and lumbar (low back) spines, which are designed for stability.
Lack of movement in the hips or thoracic spine, will lead to increased stress and excessive movement in the low back.
