Cat-Camel Stretch "The Cat-Camel stretch is a good gentle mobilization of the spine and works on stretching and strengthening your low back and core muscles," Ribaudo said. "It can help with pain of the low or mid-back and should be performed to tolerance." For the Cat part of the stretch, sink your back down toward the floor and lift your head up at the same time, sticking your tailbone out to make a curve with your spine. Hold this pose for 10 seconds, focusing on your breathing. For the Camel part, tuck your head and tailbone in, arching through your spine as to mimic a camel hump. Hold this pose for 10 seconds again, focusing on your breathing. Repeat three times in each direction. Image Source: POPSUGAR Photography / Victoria Moorhouse
