Restoring Human Movement

Should I Stretch Or Strengthen My Lower Back?


Listen Later

This week, it's just me diving into a question I get asked all the time: when should you stretch, and when should you strengthen your lower back? We've all seen endless stretches targeting specific muscles and those flashy strengthening exercises for abs and glutes, but the real key is knowing when to use them. In this solo episode, I'm breaking down the confusion and providing clear guidance on how to strategically integrate stretching and strengthening into your lower back care routine. We'll cover the factors that determine whether stretching or strengthening is more appropriate, how to identify your specific needs, and practical tips to build a balanced and effective program. If you're tired of guessing and want to understand the science behind lower back health, this episode is for you.
