I have lower back pain that is mainly attributable to sitting down for many hours every day, but I discovered that stretching my quad relieves the pain.Sometimes all it takes is bending over to pick up a pen from the floor for back pain to strike. According to post in Everydayhealth, stretching is important for staying flexible and avoiding back problems. It's also a key part of recovering from a back injury. Stretch before doing heavy lifting or exercise and make a habit of doing it before bed. Stretches can be as simple as bending forward, bending back, and bending side to side. As any one tired doing does it help?? Do let me know..
