Hamstrings: Stretching the back of the legs helps to reduce tension in the lower back and increase flexibility and range of motion in the hips and lower back.
Hips: Stretching the hips helps to alleviate tightness and improve mobility in the hips and lower back, allowing for a fuller range of motion.
Lower Back: Stretching the lower back helps to relax the muscles and reduce pain and tension, as well as improve posture.
Shoulders: Stretching the shoulders helps to loosen tightness and improve mobility in the upper back, allowing for better posture and increased range of motion.
Calves: Stretching the calves helps to reduce tension in the lower legs and improve flexibility and range of motion in the ankles and feet.
