Lumbar muscle strain is one of the common causes of low back pain. The main symptoms are swelling and soreness in the waist or lumbosacral area, which recur repeatedly. The pain may vary with climate change or degree of fatigue. The lower limb symptoms caused by lumbar spine problems are mostly below the knee joint, with pain or (and) numbness. This is one of the more common symptoms of low back pain and leg pain.

6. Cross waist twist: Place your feet shoulder-width apart, toes pointed inward, arms straight, one hand at the side of the body, and one hand raised over the head. If the left hand is on top, swing it to the right rear first, then the right hand is on top and swing it to the left rear. Twist your waist accordingly, and do 100 times on each side.

9. Flying Swallow Pose: The patient lies prone on a wooden bed with his arms stretched out on both sides of the body. Then lift the head, shoulders and arms backward and upward. At the same time, straighten the legs and lift them upward so that the whole body is like a flying swallow. Repeat 10 times. Or place hands on hips, and ask the patient to straighten chest, tilt neck, and stretch both lower limbs backward at the same time, so that the entire body and abdomen are in contact with the bed surface.

10. Reverse Arch Pose: The patient lies on his back with both lower limbs bent on the bed. The elbows or shoulders and the back of the head serve as fulcrums. The body is in an arch shape by straightening the chest and contracting the sacrospinal muscles on both sides. If the patient is strong enough, his elbows and shoulders can leave the bed, with only his feet and head as fulcrum.
