A large percentage of golfers suffer from back pain. Why?

Usually, poor posture while sitting at a desk. Or, poor posture while standing. And, poor posture while sitting watching TV. These are all contributing factors to your lower back pain. Simple Organic Life gives us 7 really easy stretches that will take just a few minutes a day (and I mean every day) to completely eradicate that pain. Just do it!

One of the consequences of being sedentary, and also being incredibly active, is back pain. About 31 million Americans experience lower back pain at any given moment. It’s a common affliction and one that takes care and diligence to eliminate.

Whether you experience stiffness, aches, or spasms, the following stretches will help keep your back fit and strong.

1. The hamstring floor stretch.

Hold for 30 seconds twice for each leg.

2. Knee to chest stretch.

This helps strengthen and relax your glutes. Hold for 20 seconds for each leg twice.

3. Spinal stretch.

This was a favorite of mine when I suffered sciatica. Hold for 20 seconds and repeat on the other knee. Do this as many times as you like but don’t overdo it.
