Release Tight Hips & Lower Back After a Long Day of Sitting
Feel looser, move better, and restore mobility in just a few minutes.

Whether you're working at a desk, commuting, or binge-watching a show, long hours of sitting can leave your hips and lower back feeling stiff, sore or painful. Over time, this tightness can affect your posture, movement quality, and even lead to discomfort or injury.

Here are 3 approved mobility exercises to help release tension and restore movement after a day of sitting:

Open Book Stretch – Relieve Mid-Back Tightness

Hold 10 seconds, repeat 10x per side

Sitting often locks up your thoracic spine (mid-back), making it harder to rotate and move freely. The Open Book stretch encourages gentle spinal rotation and opens up the chest and shoulders.

Cat/Camel – Gently Mobilize the Spine

3 sets of 10 reps

This dynamic movement promotes spinal flexibility by guiding your back through flexion and extension. It's a gentle way to "wake up" the spine and reduce back stiffness.

Piriformis Stretch – Release Tight Hips

Hold for 30 seconds, 3x per side

The piriformis is a small hip muscle that can get aggravated by prolonged sitting. This stretch helps open up your hips and relieve pressure in the low back.

Doing these consistently can help reduce tension, improve mobility, and prevent discomfort from building up. Just a few minutes a day can make a huge difference in how your body feels and functions.
