🔓 3 Exercises to Unlock Your Lower Back Mobility

3 Exercises to Unlock Your Lower Back Mobility

When you sit all day, your spine gets compressed, your muscles tighten, and your body adapts to that rounded posture.

Here’s 3 exercises we’re loving to help with that:

1️⃣ Loaded Beast to Downward Dog

• Lengthens tight lower back muscles from prolonged sitting

• Releases tension in your posterior chain (back, glutes, hamstrings)

• Restores the natural S-curve of your spine

2️⃣ Jefferson Curl

• Decompresses your stiff spinal discs from hours of sitting

• Retrains your brain to move each vertebra independently

• Counteracts that rounded-back desk posture

3️⃣ Beast to Loaded Beast

• Wakes up your core muscles that “fall asleep” during sitting

• Restores natural spinal movement patterns

• Teaches your body to maintain stability while moving

Aim to do each movement for 10 reps.
