Hey Becky,
That was neat with the pics so you can see exactly how to do them. I like the single knee to chest which I use sometimes to relieve my back pain. Sometimes I do both knees at the same time and that position helps, too.
But......the Sphinx position....Oh No  .....forget it. I would never get up off the floor. teehee 
Wonder which ones Bev will choose?

Is that I do some of those stretches without even knowing it! The first one on the hip-stretches page, I sit like that all the time. I'm sitting like that now, actually. And sphinx? All the time. I always used to have lower-back aches... no wonder they stopped happening so frequently. And cow-cat I do often, it feels soooo good.
Ok, I'm done endorsing.
Bev, I hope some of those help!

THANK YOU! These are incredible. Actually, I recall quite a few of them from physical therapy that I had when I was rowing competitively (and throwing my back out a LOT).
I'm doing much better. Some of the exercises are impossible for me to do, but some of them seem very relieving. I also took some Ibuprofen, which has helped immeasurably.
Thanks again, Becky! You're fabulous!
Bev

but, if you keep trying them, they will get easier. That is if you have the desire to keep trying. I'm glad you're feeling better!!!

Having a little trouble with the last one in your post. I lie flat on the floor with my rear up against the wall? My rear is on the floor, so how do I put it against the wall? A little confused there....?
Afraid to try Bound Angle Pose, but I'm gonna try, I will, I will, I promise.
Oy.
Thanks again,
Bent-Over Bev

but when you're lying up against the wall and your feet are in a vertical position, against the wall, you can have your butt up against the wall too. Does that help? Sorry, it's hard to describe some of these. I wish I had a picture for this one.

So I'm not parallel to the wall, I'm perpendicular to it? And my legs are stretched up the wall? ARE YOU KIDDING? ROFLMAO!
You're a very funny lady, Becky!

Another thing you can do is buy a Ball that is used for excercise. Sit on it instead of a chair. The whole idea using a ball is it forces you to sit up straight. You can not slouch or cross your legs.
This is advice I got from a Fitness Trainer. If you decide to try a ball - read the outside of the box. You want to buy a ball that is in your height range. It is a great chair to have when you sit at the computer alot.
BTW I don't have any back problems, but I want to avoid it due to a job that is known to cause back pain.
