If you're dealing with a tight and painful back, it's always good to seek professional help to properly diagnose your issue. Once fully aware of what you're facing, you must always remember one thing, you have the power to improve your condition as well. Through movement, the right kind of movement, we can begin to reset our body and fix things naturally.

These bodyweight exercises are gentle but if something doesn't feel right for you, omit it for the time being and work with what you can. Over time you may be able to come back to exercises that once didn't feel good. Be patient and stay at it. Consistency and dedication to quality exercise will never go unrewarded :)
