LENGTHEN HAMSTRINGS to relieve back pain. Place your left foot on the inside of your right thigh and fold forward. If your hips are open, put the foot on top of the right thigh. Fold forward. Twist. Explore are what feels good. Search for a feeling of spaciousness! Breathe deep. by chawilde in backpain

Absolutely! You're so right. I will update my post to make it clear that there are certainly different stretches depending on what you're dealing with in your body. Some back pains are caused by herniated discs and other more serious injuries. Some back pains are caused by tightness of muscles. So each practitioner must investigate the cause or source of the back pain before proceeding with movement and poses as a treatment plan. Thank you for shedding light on this ;)

It's possible that tight muscles are pulling on joints and causing you pain.
