Strengthen Your Spine: Neurologists Recommend Key Exercises to Alleviate Back Pain

Another effective exercise is the cat-cow stretch, which aids in enhancing spinal flexibility and relieving tension in the back. To do this stretch, start on your hands and knees in a tabletop position. Inhale deeply, arching your back and lifting your head and tailbone towards the ceiling, creating a concave shape (the "cow" position). Then, exhale and round your back, tucking your chin to your chest and drawing your belly button in (the "cat" position). This gentle flow between the two positions can help alleviate stiffness and improve circulation in the back.
