Reverse Wall Touches—Spine
This exercise is excellent for gently limbering up a stiff, painful spine.

Step 1: Sit or stand with your back to a wall, about 2 to 3 feet away. Good posture is essential for this exercise.

Step 2: Hold your arms straight out to your sides, then slowly rotate your shoulders around so you can eventually touch the wall behind you with your hand. Once you touch the wall, slowly rotate in the opposite direction and touch the wall.

Touching the wall with both sides counts as one repetition. Do 10 repetitions.

Avoid rotating your hips in the direction you are reaching, which is common when performing this exercise. The best way to remember this is to simply not move your legs at all during this exercise. Performing the exercise while sitting can help you control your hips if it’s a struggle to do so while standing.
