How to Relieve Your Back Pain

I've never believed that yoga stretches would relieve my back pain. I thought it would make it worse so, I would just take an aspirin, lay down, and hope for the best. It didn't work!
So, I tried the Yoga stretches, relieved my pain and gave me relaxation.

Yoga stretches definitely help relieve your back pain.

      Lay down on a firm surface ( yoga mat, floor, carpet or grass).
      Lay flat with your knees bent and your hands flat beside you.
      Relax, breath in and out through your nose.

      Then, tilt your head back a little and hold for a couple of seconds.

      Lastly, to help your upper back, roll your shoulders up and down.
      I do it 8-10 good shoulder rolls.
      Doing these yoga stretches and rolls ease my back pain!
