Stretching can help make you more flexible and relieve soreness and stiffness, especially in the morning when you may have fluid accumulation from the previous night. Stretching can also help manage stress, fix your posture and reduce back pain. A door stretch can help straighten out and relax your spine and chest. The standing hamstring stretch, on the other hand, is more beneficial to your lower back and the backs of your legs. The elevated pigeon stretch, meanwhile, can help with hip and lower back issues.
