ABSTRACT:
The early care of low-back pain using a series of stretching exercises that include knee to chest stretching, straight leg rising stretching, sitting toe touches and lumbar flexion stretching aid the gradual healing of low-back pain without the need for medical treatment. With such stretching, sufficient ability to bend the body in flexion is achieved. Further, the strengthening of the lumbar muscles with graded weight lifting continues a path to recovery and control over what would otherwise be immobilizing low-back pain.
