Repeat this motion for a series of 3 times. Hugging the knees provides a comforting stretch to the lower back and assists in alleviating tension after prolonged sitting or standing.
Stretch 5: Wide Knee Drops

Again, perform 3 to 5 repetitions on each side. This stretch is particularly beneficial for loosening tight areas that may contribute to lower back pain.
