The Back Pull Down

Remember to watch your posture while you are doing the exercise. Sit on the edge of your chair, back straight, knees together, eyes level looking straight ahead, your lower back slightly curved.

With this particular exercise, you can start with 5 repetitions and buld up from there to 20-25 which is plenty for one round. You can repeat a round several times during a day if your back feels like it is benefitin gfrom it.

Bear in mind if you haven't done much exercise recently and you do a lot of these you may feel sore.

The Downward Facing Dog

Many years ago when I first started doing stretches like this, they were difficult to hold for any period of time, and quite uncomfortable. You might think the same when you start. but pain relief and flexibility come with practice, so keep at it!

This video has some fooling around at the start, but the exercise is definitely worthwhile. Hey any day my back is not hurting is a fun day, but if you're not in the mood for a bit of humor just ignore the fooling around.
