When I Saw How Easy It Is To Relive Back Pain Without Leaving My Couch It Changed My Life

Back pain is often a reality for many people. I’m one of them! Sure, I’m active, I stretch, but there are still some days that I’m just so stiff and sore that I don’t know what to do. Fortunately I came across this method of relieving back pain without leaving your chair.

1. 1. Sit forward in your chair.
   2. Bring one of your knees to your chest, grasp at the back of your though.
   3. Pull your though gently toward your body.
   4. Hold for 30 seconds.
   5. SLOWLY release the leg.
   6. Do the same with the other leg.

Shoulder pain.

1. 1. Breathe deeply and bring your shoulders up toward your ears.
   2. Hold for 3 seconds.
