Stand erect and lift your right arm and resting the tips of your fingers on your right shoulder. Use your left hand and push it against the opposite elbow. Lower the fingers on your right hand down the length of your back as far as possible, while pushing on your elbow. Count to eight and perform the same actions on the opposite side.

Now stretch your arms. Stand erect, keeping your feet together and raise your arms level with your shoulders and stretch them outward. Circle your arms in a clockwise direction to the count of ten and then perform the same actions anticlockwise. Make the circles with your arms as wide as is comfortable.

The next part of your back pain workout is to stretch your back and body. Stand erect, keep your feet in alignment with your shoulders and gradually rotate your body from the waist and then stretch to one side. Stretch ahead and move your body in rotation to the opposite side. Extend back and around again to the opposite side.

Another exercise is to stand erect and keep your feet in line with your shoulders and slightly apart. Bend your knees slightly and lock your fingers behind your head and bend starting at the waistline, touching your right knee with your right elbow. Next, rotate your torso, rotating it to the left and then touch your left knee. Extend backwards until you are standing erect again and repeat three times.

Once you are standing erect, slightly move your feet apart and bend your knees a little. Lift your arms to the height of your shoulders and grip your hands while turning to the side, starting at your waistline. Hold and count to five and then do the same on the opposite side. Turn the upper section of your body only, keeping your hips and legs still.

Extend your hands down your side, while standing erect. Bend your knees a little and gradually lift your arm as far as you can reach over your head. With your free arm, slide it down your leg and with your opposite arm reach as high over your head as possible. Stretch downwards on your thigh and then return to the upright position. Continue on the opposite side and do three reps.

Standing erect and keeping your feet in line with your shoulders, bend your elbows at the height of your shoulders. Keeping your arms at shoulder height, join your fingertips and swing your arms backward. Continue this action on each side, counting to ten as you move along.
