Owie! My poor back!

[snapdragen]

Here's the stretch I usually do for hams.

Hamstring Stretch

Lie down with one leg straight up in the air, the other bent with foot flat on the ground. Loop a towel over the arch of the lifted foot, and gently pull on the towel as you push against it with your foot. Push only to the point where your muscles contract. Stretch both legs.

Smilingcat, I could've written your reply myself...those are the exact pains that I have along with the lower back. Hmmmm, wonder what else we have in common? Perhaps you also spend too much time in the gym, on the trails, in the pool, and so on and so on....
