Stand with your back to a wall. Keep a distance of about 10 to 12 inches between your back and wall. Now carefully lean into the wall until your spine is flat against it. Slide down the wall slowly until your knees are bent slightly. Keep your back pressed against the wall. Hold this position 10 seconds and then carefully slide back up the wall. Repeat 10 times.

Knee rolls

Lie on your back and keep a small flat cushion under your head. Keep your knees bent and together. Keep your upper body relaxed and your chin gently tucked in. Roll your knees to one side. Keep both shoulders on the floor. Hold the stretch for 3 seconds and return to starting position. Repeat on both sides 10 times.

Keep your elbows on the floor directly beneath your shoulders. Feel the stretch on your back and spine. Hold this position for 10 seconds and return to starting position. Repeat 10 times.

Pelvic tilts

Lie on your back. Bend your knees, keep your feet straight and hip-width apart. Keep your upper body relaxed and your chin gently tucked in.
