Simple stretches can do more than reduce pain. One study found that patients with chronic low back pain who followed a daily stretching routine reported a 72% improvement in pain and mobility after just four weeks. And while the benefits start with the spine, they often extend to better sleep, lower stress levels, and improved overall function.

I will frequently recommend simple activities, such as yoga, Pilates, or even Tai Chi, as a very simple and basic way to get into a stretching program. - Dr. Kandel
