3 Exercises to Stop Back Spasms
Your back seizes up.
Again.
Maybe it's first thing in the morning when you try to get out of bed.
Maybe it's in the middle of the day when you bend down to pick something up.
Either way, you're stuck thinking "What now?"
Here's what I tell my students when their back locks up: you need three exercises in your back pocket that you can do anywhere—in bed, on the floor, wherever you are when your back decides to act up.
No equipment. No complicated setup. Just three simple movements that decompress your lower back and help you feel better.
Stop Resting and Start Moving (Gently)
Here's what most women do when their back seizes up: they rest.
They lie down and hope it goes away.
But here's the problem—rest doesn't decompress your back. Movement does.
I'm not talking about aggressive stretching or forcing anything. I'm talking about gentle, controlled movements that create space between your ribs and hips and release the compression that's causing the spasm.
That's what these three exercises do.
You don't have to do all three exercises every time your back acts up. Pick one.
See how you feel.
If you feel better, great.
If you need more, try the next one.
But if you're constantly managing back pain—if you're tired of your back locking up over and over— I highly recommend a structured strength training plan.
