Stretching and an active lifestyle are often recommended to help reduce back pain and speed up the recovery process following an injury. To get the maximum benefit from stretching, proper technique is essential:

- Warm up your muscles before stretching by walking or doing other gentle movements for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Slowly increase your stretch as you feel your muscles relax. Don't bounce.
- Stretch slowly and gently, only to the point of mild tension, not to the point of pain.
