Small Spinal Roll
Starting with both feet on the floor and a straight spinal column, begin at the crown of your head and roll down vertebrae by vertebrae. To add more of a stretch in the lower back, tilt the hips forward. Ensure to do this very carefully if your lower back is especially sore, delicate, or in pain.
If you have a lot of stress along your spinal column, this move can burn a bit. However, it will undoubtedly loosen things up.
