My right lower back area is all tweaked right now, so I was looking at some chiropractor’s website and I found this. Holy fuck! I could not even get my body 45 degrees up. My back immediately felt better after this (not totally bit a little bit).
Yeah I’m bored.

Specifically, it targets the hip flexor. It’s best to practice this kind of stretch on a sofa or related comfy equipment so you can relax further into the stretch as the muscle starts to give in. In my experience, it takes a lot of tweaking of posture to advance and reach maximum length for good.

This is a great stretch!
When mobility allows try reverse lunging as this will ‘actively’ stretch the target muscles namely the Rectus Femoris and Iliopsoas. Reach for the sky with every reverse lunge.
This is a great way to release the hips before and after squats and of course stave off lower back pain associated with anterior pelvic tilt caused by these muscles being tight

I like this because I have yet to find a good quads stretch (in its entirety, not just rectus femoris). This is it. I think if I really concentrate on this stretch, a hip flexor stretch, and core/glute strength, my anterior hip tilt should be gone.
