According to the American Chiropractic Association (ACA), 31 million Americans experience low-back pain—it is the leading cause of disability worldwide. There is no one cause of back pain—it can be triggered by a small movement like twisting, bending, or jumping. To relieve low-back pain, lie face up on the floor and place the foam roller just above the hip under your lower back. Stretch your arms up above your head and hold for 15 seconds. Then bend your left knee, point your right foot and continue the stretch. Repeat on the other side.
