Please suggest exercises or stretches for my lower back issue. Normally I would see a PT but it's the apocalypse so...
The problem area is my left lower back and side, a couple inches above and below where the butt begins. I also have it a bit on the right side, but not as much. It definitely feels like muscular pain, not nerve pain. I'm guessing it has to do with unwise or repetitive movements crouching down to pull and clip weeds from around the sidewalk.
I will knock off the weeding for a bit, but in the interim, can you suggest some stretches for the area? And/or exercises to strengthen it?
I have a foam roller, various strengths of bands, and a peanut roller ball.
I consistently have problems with my left side, which is also consistently stiffer than my right, so the location probably has more to do with pre-existing issues than with me working my left harder than my right.
