Do these seven stretches; perform this sequence three times a day and once the pain is considerably less, you can reduce the sequence to once a day, and ultimately three to four times per week. When you&#8217;re ready to start, lie down on the bed or floor (preferably on a carpet, rug or yoga mat)&#8230;.<\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><strong>Pelvic Tilt Warm-up <\/strong><\/div>\n<div>Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor. In this relaxed position, the small of your back will not be touching the floor. Perform a pelvic tilt by tightening your abdominal muscles so that the small of your back presses against the floor.

Next, take a deep breath and on the exhale contract your abdominals, pulling your belly button towards your spine. Hold for 5 to 10 seconds.
