Back Stretches for back pain

Here are a few examples of lower back stretches that you can try:

1. The Cat-Cow stretch: Start on your hands and knees, with your wrists directly under your shoulders and your knees directly under your hips. As you inhale, arch your back and lift your head and tailbone towards the ceiling. As you exhale, round your spine and tuck your chin towards your chest.
   
2. The Child's Pose: Start on your hands and knees, then sit back on your heels and stretch your arms forward. Rest your forehead on the floor and relax your entire back.
   
3. The Supine Twist: Lie on your back with your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor. Cross your right knee over your left knee and let both knees fall to the left side. Keep both shoulders on the floor and look over your right shoulder.
   
4. The Sphinx Pose: Lie on your stomach with your elbows under your shoulders and your forearms on the floor. Use your forearms and toes to lift your upper body off the floor.
   
5. The Seated Forward Bend: Sit on the floor with your legs straight in front of you. Bend forward from the hips and try to touch your toes or your shins.
   

Remember to breathe deeply and hold each stretch for 20 to 30 seconds. It's also recommended to consult a health professional before starting any new exercise regimen.
