Yes, especially when sitting in a chair for so long. I was filling out paperwork for something and it got tight. My bed was calling me. My sis in law sent me some exercises. I’m starting slow, right now I’m doing the ones where u put ur hands on ur lap and get up/ down ten times.
God bless!

Hi Cherokee, I hope you have been well! Sore back? Me too! I like G25's answer. My heating pad is my best friend, it's always on the second I sit in my chair. Which brings me to what Irishwife said...sitting too long may cause cramping in the back. I know alot of exercises, but the best thing to do is build your core muscles up. They are in the front...stomach, abdominal, which helps strengthen your back and ultimately fixes your posture. But, in the meantime, a little easy trick that really helps; Every 10-15 min. While sitting for extended periods of time, ie, writing, watching T.V. talking on the phone a long time etc. Stand up, feet shoulder length apart, put your hands on the top of your buttocks on your back, and gently arc backwards. Use your hands for support! Do this about 5-10 times, holding a few seconds 30sec-1min. The other one I do, which is perfect for me because of my herniated cracked disc's, is to lean against a door frame. This is important. Make sure the door frame is not too wide because you need to put your hands on the other side for support and to help move your body up and down SLOWLY. While your back is against the doorway, feel for the portion that sticks out. You want to place this between your spine and muscle. It's like a little valley. Slowly move up and down, trying to straighten the arch of your back, so that it's flat. You achieve this by slightly bending your legs. It's a 'feeling thing. Up and down, you'll probably hear cracks, but that's okay. Go over your spine into the valley on the other side. Repeat. You can also go side to side on the muscle only. Each side. It feels great! Try it, it works for me, really. Let me know how you do, okay? Til Later....Be Well. Take Care. Thea2 😊 Hugs ❤ to you too!

I'll give it a try. Problem is my back often goes out when I am not at home and can't very well do the exercise.

Hi Arlene, I usually do some back stretches, like having your hands on your hips, slide them around behind you so your fingers are facing down and your hands are just below the waist on the top of the buttocks. With feet slightly apart, do a back bend. This should be done every 15min or so while sitting for extended periods of time. If you have a balance issue, lean against your bed. It's a great height for support or turn around and lean your shins and knees against your chair. The other one I do, is, I have a very narrow utility closet. With slightly bended knees I position my back so that the protruding closing part is in the 'valley' with the spine on one side and your back muscle on the other side. Slowly move up and down the door frame trying to push your back arch flat. This requires using your stomach muscles to straighten out your back. You'll hear cracks, but that's okay. Change sides. Keep repeating until your back feels loosened. Finally go gently side to side. I always feel great after doing this. Then I lay down to enjoy the release in my back! Arlene, try doing the backbends should you be sitting long, say, watching a movie or sitting a long time using your computer or tablet...even long phone conversations. Just get up every 15min's and do a few backbends. Believe me, your back will not only feel better, but It'll ache and cramp less! Til Later....Be Well. Take Care. Thea2 😊

My back gets tight often then I have to lie down for it to subside
