- 6 of the best stretches you should do everyday for flexibility and function. This daily stretching routine will help improve mobility in your spine, hips, and shoulders and decrease pain in your neck and back. These are my top stretches that I prescribe in my physical therapy clinic - perform them everyday to improve range of motion, mobility, and function!

Mobility is one of the critical components to our overall wellness. In order to maintain normal, pain-free function and movement, we have to be mindful of our flexibility and mobility - especially in our spines (collectively the most mobile part of our body).
Our muscles and joints undergo what we call “adaptive shortening” and “adaptive lengthening” based on the stresses (or lack thereof) placed upon an area.
Basically - our bodies and joints operate under a “use it or lose it” principle. If we don’t take our joints into their end ranges of available motion and if we stay fixed in one posture for an extended period of time, we start to lose our range of motion. This can result in feelings of tightness, stiffness, and even pain.
The best way to combat these effects is by regularly taking your joints into ranges that they should go into and that they’re capable of going into, but don’t get there regularly.
That’s where these exercises come in. This is a collection of the best exercises to stretch key muscles and joints into their end ranges of motion to increase your mobility and promote normal pain-free movement.
Click on the time stamps below to be taken directly to each exercise in the video.
1. CHIN TUCKS (3:38) - My go-to exercise to decrease pain, tension, and even headaches in your cervical spine (neck). This is a must if you spend long periods of time in a “forward head posture” (working at a laptop, looking at a tablet or phone, etc).
2. NECK AND UPPER BACK EXTENSION STRETCHES (4:40) - Think about it - we rarely look up! Our whole lives are in front of us and we spend a lot of time looking straight or down. But our necks and our upper backs are designed to extend - to look up and move backwards. One of the best things you can do for your neck and upper back is to improve extension mobility.

3. DOORWAY STRETCHES (6:54) - When we slump, our head comes forward on our necks and our shoulders round forward and in. To break out of this posture we need adequate range of motion through the front of the chest and shoulders. This is my go-to stretch to target those area.
4. LOWER BACK EXTENSION STRETCH (8:44) - We spend a lot of time sitting and many of our daily motions involve forward bending. Rarely do we extend our spines back the other direction in an effort to stretch them out. That’s where this stretch comes in.
*Don’t do this one if you have certain specific spine conditions. If you’re dealing with back pain from things like stenosis, degenerative disc disease, or spondylolisthesis, please do not perform these extension exercises. You need to promote spine flexion (bending forward) to stretch your back out safely.

5. HIP FLEXOR STRETCH (10:40) - we spend a lot of time sitting. Over time our hip flexors can adapt and shorten in this position. The unfortunate part about this is one of your hip flexor muscles attaches to your lower back vertebrae. If your hip flexors are tight they can pull on these vertebrae and pull your back forward and out of proper alignment.

6. HAMSTRINGS STRETCH (12:13) - Probably the one area/muscle group that most of us could use a little work on - our hamstrings are an area that are prone to becoming tight. They also have a connection on the pelvis and can contribute to lower back pain if not stretched out properly.

Great to hear! I am glad these stretches helped you!
Keep stretching, young buck.

I'm a minor, too, and after drawing for 4 hours straight, my neck started hurting and I realized, "Hey maybe I should take care of my body more when drawing." So I'm learning some stretches to do after 30 minutes of drawing ^^
I hope this helps for my Judo also!
Finally! Someone who knows what they're talking about!

I agree right 😊😊

Hamstrings! 😊
Heather Frampton soooo many of us have tight hammies! Hope these help!
That door stretch literally gave me more air, as soon as I got out of position I got a huge relief in the chest/shoulder areas. Thank you so much! I will continue to do these everyday
Wonderful news! You are very welcome and thanks for sharing!
Yessss!!! It was life changing lol I work on computer all day and even laying flat on my back with my arms outwards pulls by my shoulders/pecks so bad and this stretch was perfect!
agree, didn't know of this before. This one felt very good almost instantly after doing it.
Sir i have coaching for 6 hours and my body was so stef because of your video my body is slightly becoming flexible thankyou 🙏🏻☺️❤️ sir love from India
You are welcome! Glad you are finding these beneficial.
56 now and have never stretched properly and recently started paying far more attention to it. I find it far more daunting and painful than a severe heavy weight session. This simple video has shown how many mistakes I am making and whilst I can’t say I look forward to stretching this has given me a positive thought process in relation to it. Thank you!
You are welcome, Peter! I am glad you found these stretches helpful and thanks for sharing!
im 12 and have started to do these exercises because when we did P.E in school i realized how bad i am now physically and got me insecure. Spending those 2years just locked inside my bedroom on my phone coz of covid19 got my body already functioning like an 80yr old man 🥲so thanks for helping out people like me trying to get themselves in a better health condition❤
(sorry if bad english)
I feel so much better when I do these. Thank you for making a well-rounded video with all of these stretches.
You're so welcome, Marcy! I am glad you are finding these beneficial!
Thank you Doc! This is such a great sequence that I shared it with my Facebook group

Excellent. Just what I need for recently-developed neck and shoulder pain, and more.
Wonderful, Bob Wheaton! I hope these relieve your pain!
Thanks a lot. It's been clear and stimulating. I'll start trying some of those stretches.
I hope they help!
Thank-you so much, Dr. "Tone and Tighten", for your videos! Would you please add outdoor stretches before a 3-5 mile uphill hike? I appreciate you for all your free UA-cam exercise and strengthing/strectching instructions!🤩👍🏼🌟☀️
Great suggestion and thanks for watching!
Thanks bro. These stretches are very helpful. Nuff respect.

@@toneandtighten your de MAN
Hey Jared, Appreciate your videos, They've been a great help for me discovering fitness, I have pilates sessions every other day and in between I use your tutorials. Always great to see your smiling face and hear the encouragement. best regards-
I greatly appreciate your content. I am a 34 year old single Mom with scoliosis and degenerative disc disease and am trying to educate myself as much as possible in hopes of my conditions not worsening and needing surgery. Thank you and God bless you and your family.
You are welcome, Melissa! I hope you find these stretches beneficial!
For what it's worth, I know someone who has degenerative disc disease and strengthening his core helped him a lot. Also, I don't know if you deal with inflammation any but, I've been taking Tumeric supplements daily ( 2000 mg) and it's helped my knees a lot. It needs to be formulated for high absorption. Anyways, I wish you the best :-)
@@mlee9049 Thank you! That was very encouraging and I appreciate you sharing. I just started drinking tumeric tea daily. I have read that long term consumption of tumeric isn't good. I also started incorporating collagen peptides into my smoothies. I'm doing all I can. Wish you the best as well!
@@melissagoodrich5213 You are most welcome. I wasn't aware that long term use may not be good. I'll have to dig into that. I noticed soreness relief (inflammation) from my high dose fairly quickly. There is also a concentrated liquid version. I'm also going to check into collagen :-)
You had me at single mom! Jk good luck 🍀 ❤️
Thank you so so much. Those exercises are very helpful and effective. I love your videos.
You are very welcome, Neil Ramdhony! I am so glad you find my videos useful! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for this excellent video! I have a tight psoas muscle which seems to be contributing to low back pain. I have been doing your hip flexor stretches for a short while now. Do you have any other stretches that would specifically target the psoas area?
Thank you, Jared. I've watched a few videos on stretching and you do the best job of explain the what, how (not how, too) and how often.
Thank you so much, Tom, and you are welcome! I hope these stretches help you!
Thank you for guiding us with all the stretches for our everyday routine.
You're so welcome, Ambreen Akhtar! I hope you find these stretches effective and thanks for commenting!
Thank you for this Strectch routine. I have back issues so your routines are easy to follow without leading to pain later. Do you have an excercise to reduce fluid behind the knees?
Wow, Thanks for the tips! Really love the “flex the glute” while doing hip flexors. BIG difference and I’ve never heard anyone suggest that!
Happy to help, Scrappy37! Thanks for your comment!
Love the way you break things down in a practical natural way...as if im there in person.

I started on these today and I can already feel a difference! Will continue this daily. Thank you for posting.
You are welcome, Abby! I am glad they are already helping you!
Great video. My right side QL is currently jacked up with spasm. I'll play it safe and wait for recovery before I do these lower body stretches.
great Set i already do most of these .., how about stretches around the knee and middle back?
I'm not certain about mid back but his first hamstring stretch can be intensified by dorsiflexing your foot (bringing your toes up towards you as possible) which will turn your foot into an anchor and allow your pelvis to pull all of that tension through the hamstring attachments along your ishial tuberosity ( aka: sits bone or base of your pelvis).
You can also place your foot on a higher surface to increase the tension level as well.
Hope this helps ^.^
Your vidio's are very helpful..thank you..

Hello Jared. Your content is just great. One question regarding the cobra stretch. You stressing its function as an back stretch. Do you recommend this exercise when you have an flatback Syndrom including cyphotic lumbar spine to improve mobility in the extention and strech the abbs? Are there anything particular to recommend while doing it ?
Thanks in Advance !

Tone and Tighten good morning. Can you provide hip flexor and IT band stretches for post knee replacement? I cannot kneel so the ones you demonstrated would not be possible for me, but those areas are very tight and affect my gait for sure. Thank you!
Outstanding presentation!!! Easy to understand .....no wordy medical terminology just right to the point !! Thanks so much !!!
Thanks so much, Donnie Cain! I am glad you liked it and I hope it helps!
I did a couple of these stretches today during a break, and I feel sooo much better. Thank you so much. I am so greatful to anyone who tried to teach something on this portal. My situation I believe is due to a childhood injury mixed with bad posture, and doing the cobra reduced my pain by 90%. I could not continue to sit just before the break, and now I have been sitting very comfortably doing my work for over an hour. I love youtube, and intend to create my own content soon in an effort to help others in other domains. I do not know much about fitness, but can contribute in other domains. Thank you so much.

My pleasure, Brent! I hope they help!
For at least a few months I have been dealing with a lot of pain in my right leg and knee. I am actually now limping. I don't know what is causing this or how to fix it. I have been to Chiro, massage therapy and just started with physiotherapy. Do you have any ideas on what the issue might be?
"Let's do it right now" made me listen longer, knowing it would be coming up. It made me better able to pay attention.
I love how you explain about the muscles so I actually know what I’m doing
Thanks so much, Emma! I hope you find these stretches effective!
I'm a young guy, but I have what feels like a permanent sore spot in my upper back, right on my spine. I played football in highschool and I never really took the stretches seriously. Now I'm paying the price for it. Right off the bat, the chin tucks hit that spot directly and it feels AMAZING, but only because of the effort you put in to give as much detail as possible, specifically for the techniques and proper form. Hard to believe such an easy movement can provide relief for something that's been causing me pain for years. Doing the other stretches really opened my eyes, it made me realize how tight my body really is and has pushed me to start treating my muscles properly. Thank you for this video, and the effort you put into it to give people the relief they need.
Take care of your muscles people, it drastically improves the quality of exercise and daily life.
What stretches can I do for my hips. I’ve had 2 total hip replacement on the same hip several years ago. My hip is tight. Thank you
Robin, check out this video and see if it helps you: ua-cam.com/video/zTPfzlZbtz8/v-deo.html
A few comments/questions regarding the 6 stretches.
1. In regard to the hamstring stretch, I was always taught to also stretch the quads to balance out the upper leg stretches. What are your thoughts on this?
2. For the hip flexor stretch, I’ve found that as a senior, it’s easier to do the stretch seated with one leg crossed over the opposite knee and lean forward. I feel like I get a good stretch and avoid kneeling to stretch the hips due to balance issues.
Nice and clear reasoning on the physical movements, thanks

Thanks so much for positive feedback! I appreciate your support!
Hi! I've watched quite a few of your videos in last few days, and they've all been very helpful. So, thanks for your efforts!
I realized that stooping down while working at a desk causing upper back and neck muscles to go into spasm is a recurring theme because of downward gaze, and this made me realize that learning touch typing would help reduce the angle of this downward gaze as one wouldn't require to look down at the keyboard while typing. So, as such touch typing is not an 'exercise', but it will help minimize the bad posture to at least some degree. Likewise, working on an external monitor kept at eye level should help. I guess some of these themes would fall in the domain of ergonomics. If you find what I've pointed out sensible, including these points in one of your future videos might help your viewers further.
Thanks for sharing!

One more comment, I would like to see a video on how to strengthen your knees for people who have had total knee replacement. Thank you!
Sit on the floor with your legs straight out in front of you. Place your hands behind you on the floor next to your butt. Tense your right leg (especially the muscles/ligaments surrounding your knee) and hold for 5 seconds. Repeat a total of 5 times. Then do your left knee/leg. Now do both knees together. Breath in when you begin the tense and hold the breath for the duration of the tensing.
The only way to 'strengthen' the knees is to strengthen the surrounding muscles as the knee does not have any muscles of it's own.
This is one small part of Pawanmukta - an amazing yoga routine designed to strengthen and give flexibility to all the joints in the body.
I had knee surgery five years ago , my Dr had me doing the hip flexor stretch in a chair . All thought most of the stretches I liked the most were done by my physical therapist. Lol I do have S I issues also , any ideas or exercises for this. Area ?. Thanks in advance 🎾
Good job my brother, well explained
