Relax your spine using a chair This stretch works wonder for the lower back and at the same time relaxes the muscles either side of the spine.
Best of all, you don't actually have to do anything.
Make sure the chair is snugly in the crook of your knees and that your lower legs form a 90° angle.
Even better than a pillow, is to get a telephone book and lie with your head on that. Make sure your chin is tucked into the chest, thereby de-compressing the vertebrae in your neck.
Lie in this position for at least 10 minutes – ideally 20 minutes

Great tips, Melanie. I usually end up my stretching sequence by falling asleep on the floor!
