Here's an easy way to release some muscular stiffness if you're having lower back pain while sitting.
Stand up and feel your lower back and whether you can massage it easily.
With your arms back at your sides, bend both legs just 1/4 of the way down. Do this 3 to 5 times.
Now stretch the front of each thigh by holding the foot to your butt. Don't use a lot of effort to do this. Just hold in place for 5 seconds or until it completely stretches.
Now feel your lower back again and see if you can massage it. If its much easier to massage now, the source of your pain is your tight thighs. But now you have a way to cope with and reduce the consequences of this tightness.
