Those of us with lower-back pain know that we'll try nearly anything to relieve it. Fortunately, thanks to TikTok, a wealth of chiropractor tips can be found in the palm of our hands. Today's tip comes from chiropractor Brian Meenan, DC [8], of Pittsburgh Premier Chiropractic Clinic [9]. In his viral TikTok, he instructs viewers to grab a door handle, take a deep squat, lean back slightly, and push on their thigh to twist (make sure to get the other side).

I tried this for myself, and it gave me a good morning stretch that definitely got to my lower back in the best way. The stretch also reminded me of the yoga pose Malasana squat [10] with a twist. Here's a tip from me to you: if the deep squat feels a little too deep, try sitting on a yoga block for more support under your seat. Thanks to Dr. Meenan, it's time to alleviate our low-back pain by twisting again like we did last summer!
