Stretching is generally harmless for lower back pain. It's best to perform腰部 stretches after applying heat, as this enhances effectiveness. Typically, use a hot towel or hot water bottle at around 55°C for heat application, lasting 15 to 20 minutes. After heating, you can stretch the muscles in your lower back and back. However, improper or excessive stretching may cause various injuries. Therefore, to achieve optimal results, consistent and regular training is essential.
