Bend at the waist at about a 45 degree angle
Reach both arms out in front of you.
Grab one wrist and gently pull toward the opposite side of your body.
Switch sides and repeat.

yep, and then, literally, just hang. keep your legs strong, but let the top half of your body just hang forward. - Andie Mar 2, 17:08 6
- I don't know if it will help loosi, but those stretches are amazingly effective for tense and tired backs. nm - ralph wiggum Mar 2, 17:10 5
  - i also swear by spinal twists on your back. - Andie Mar 2, 17:16 2
    - I do three positions on my back. The twist; one leg at a time straight up; and one leg at a time drawing the knee toward the chin. -- nm - mara Mar 2, 17:20
    - been doing this, it helps a bit. The other thing you suggested is helping a bit as well. appreciate it. -- nm - loosilu Mar 2, 17:19
  - you know what else is good for releasing tension? - Max Mar 2, 17:15 1
