How To Stretch Hips for Low Back Pain?

For a low back hip pain stretch, I would get somebody started on their back. A couple of different things to stretch glute and side of the leg there would be to bring your ankle over onto the top of your opposite knee and then pull that knee towards your chest and feel where the tension is.

Often I recommend that people regularly do this stretch if your, your lower back is kind of acting up on you. Those were kind of the muscles that we kind of discovered in the beginning we knew were gonna be tight, just based on the range of motion.

Importance of Low Back Hip Pain Prevention

 Lower back pain can be caused by several different factors, but the most common one is tight or strained muscles. Lower back pain makes it difficult to sit or stand for longer periods of time, however there are a few simple stretches you can do to help relieve the tension on your lower back.

The best way to treat low back pain is to prevent it. Use these backache stretches and exercises to help relieve your symptoms and keep you active.

Low Back Hip Pain Muscle Tension

Tensor fasciae latae is a muscle of the thigh and it belongs to hip flexor or pelvic girdle. Because the muscle pulls proximally and rotates the femur on the pelvis, TFL stretches are necessary for releasing tension on the ligament that supports the knee joint and can lead to pain in the hip area and low back. iliotibial band stretches are also beneficial because they relieve pressure from the outside of your thigh, which is caused by tensing these muscles during exercise.

The gluteus medius and piriformis muscles can be a source of pain in your low back or hip. The Glute Medius is a deep muscle that crosses the hip joint, connecting with both the hip joint and the femur. In order to best treat this muscle pain, it is important to receive input from a professional with experience working on these muscles.

    I first visited IMMERSE when I threw my back out. Paul was incredible from start to finish. I signed up for the monthly membership immediately. Each session we spend a little time chatting about how my body is feeling and if there is anything … More in particular I’d like him to work on. I leave IMMERSE feeling so much better every time. 10/10 recommend Paul. He has truly enhanced my quality of life!

    Such a lovely experience from beginning to end. The lobby was beautifully decorated with plants, and Mason greeted me with such warmth. The table vibrates with music and is so comfortable and warm. The weighted blankets helped me feel so … More cozy and relaxed. The technique and grounded presence Mason offers is excellent. I especially enjoyed the warm scented towel on my face and neck at the end of the massage. So rejuvenating and relaxing. I felt calm and peaceful. Wholeheartedly recommend!

    I started going to IMMERSE due to an injury I had at work. I am so thrilled to have Paul as my massage therapist. He is so kind, attentive, and extremely knowledgeable. My sessions feel more healing and productive than massages usually … More do. I highly recommend going to IMMERSE to begin healing your body, and ask for Paul

    I recently had the pleasure of experiencing two massages from Paul in the past couple months and I was thoroughly impressed! Paul took the time to listen to my concerns & preferences and created a customized massage that perfectly addressed … More my needs.
    The massage itself was exceptional. Paul has incredibly talented hands, and his technique was both relaxing and therapeutic. What sets Paul apart from other massage therapists is his attention to detail and thoughtfulness. He made sure that I was comfortable at all times, adjusting the temperature of the table and the pressure of the massage to my liking. He also provided helpful tips on how to maintain my well-being between massages.
    I highly recommend Paul to anyone looking for a massage therapist who is both skilled and compassionate. His dedication to his craft is evident in every aspect of his work. I will definitely be returning for another massage with Paul soon!

    Wow! Walking into Immerse Modern Massage, my entire body immediately relaxed right at the front door. The aromatherapy is so intoxicating and soothing, and the ambiance is very nice. Walking into the treatment room was even better. They … More really did such a good job with the place! Not to mention the massage table! Omg, it felt so incredible to be sandwiched in between healing frequencies, warmth, and high vibrations. I can’t wait to go back!!! I was impressed to say the least.

    Entering the space I immediately felt calm, the lighting and ambiance was perfect for relaxing. The warmth, low light and wooden ceiling made me feel like I was in a sauna. Mason greeted me and made me feel comfortable as we entered the … More massage room. The bed was heated, with weighted blanket and calming music vibrated the entire bed. I melted away as mason massaged my whole body, taking care to leave me mostly covered under the warm blanket the entire time. He also used heated towels and a wonderful essential oil blend. I felt truly relaxed and my whole body vibrated with warmth and comfort. Would definitely come back again!

    Mason is awesome! I just had an amazing massage experience and loved it. He attentively addressed the tension spots in my body and worked through them. The massage table vibrates synced up to the meditative music which was sooo relaxing … More and helped me be super dropped into the moment. The weighted blanket and the warm scented towels were another highlight. Highly recommend. Thank you, Mason!
  • Avatar Kelsey Koll ★★★★★ 2 years ago
    Wow! My massage with Mason was healing on so many levels! He addressed the spots of tension and diligently worked to remind my muscles that it’s okay to relax. He was very attentive to my needs and comfort.
    Immerse is definitely an appropriate
    … More name for this space as you are enveloped in delightfully warm infrared heat (through amethyst crystals!), the soothing sounds of a waterfall, and a sound bath of vibrations coming directly from the table!
    The thoughtful intention put in to making Immerse Modern Massage the healing environment that is it is apparent and very much appreciated!
