Stretch Your Back Out After Gardening - March 2024
Duration: 12 minutes
Emphasis: I'd just come in from a few hours gardening, wheelbarrowing compost and spreading it out on my flower beds (hence looking a bit dishevelled!) and thought I'd share my go-to stretches that are helpful to bring my back into neutral after several hours in flexion. At this time of year when many of us are itching to get out there and get our gardens ready for the summer season it's easy to overdo it and then suffer with back-ache. If you practise these movements after gardening - and in-between gardening sessions too - you'll help to minimize muscle imbalances and hopefully prevent injury.
Props needed: A sturdy chair.
Mat direction: N/A.
Note: at the beginning of the class I mention the 'no dig' method of gardening which keeps the soil healthier and also saves your back. If you're interested in finding out more go to
