Factory worker and I do this and glad to hear it is an actual stretch. I tend to lean forward a lot more locking my waist to the surface and pushing my shoulder away trying to pull my spine apart. The pop is literally instant relief if you have a tight spot on your spine. Also grab something you can hang off of, and completely relax everything below shoulders. Around your tailbone area, you should feel your body trying to fight the relaxing as the gravity of your legs pulls down. Force your body to not fight it. Sometimes that one will crack but for me just makes the whole back feel less pressure

The instant relief is insane. Feels like I regained an inch or two of height just from trying it for the first time this morning. Wow. 👀

When my spine locks (I have EDS and have actually had physiotherapists unlocking my upper back by force in the past) I tend to use a pair of forearm crutches and let gravity do its thing in a similar manner as in the video. When I was still able to work, there was a small gym at work and if my spine locked while at work, I’d go down to the gym and just get up on that thing where you hang on your elbows to lift your knees normally, only I’d just hang on my elbows and let my legs dangle to let gravity do its thing with my spine. For me it’s often vertebrae in my thoracic spine that gets locked, and I also have a mild case of Scheuermann’s disease (wedge shaped T11 and I have slight kyphosis because of it) Exercises never did anything for me other than causing pain, and the physiotherapist using their whole body weight to unlock my spine was really a bit too violent and only helped temporarily. For me just letting gravity do its thing is what works the best both to unlock my spine and prevent it from locking as much. But yeah, I use forearm crutches rather than a countertop or table. I feel countertop isn’t high enough and there’s always cupboards above that I’d hit my head on.

I did this stretch after months of lower back pain. I have had both spondylosis spondylolisthesis and early arthritis since I was in my 20's ... im 38 now. I slightly modified this by inverting my palms so my fingers are facing towards my body and I can grip the counter edge. I pushed myself up as high as I could to let my lower body hang free.... and my lord.....I had the loudest and most intense pop in my lower back that i've ever had in my life, in a very good way. I could actually feel the literal decompression of my disc in between the vertebrae that was previously being squashed by my own body weight. I instantly felt some relief and could actually walk better. I've been doing this stretch and trying to lose weight for about two months and I have had SEVERAL big pops in my lower back all in a good way that feels like the muscles are returning to their normal position to support my spine. This stretch has literally set me back on the path to pain relief so I can finally exercise again without being in extreme pain. After years of bogus chiropractors who just wanted to milk me for money, this is the first actual exercise / stretch that has addressed my exact issue perfectly. ❤❤

This guy is just like comforting, idk what it is but he just seems super chill and nice.

Most Chiropractors are really chill and nice… because their craft is based in placebo. You won’t feel better if you didn’t enjoy the visit. Also why their machines tend to make a shit ton of noise and clanking/banging - it makes the patient *feel* like something is happening (when it really isn’t)

Been doing this for more than 10 years. But what I do is usually like “drop” my body and my hands stay in position so that it kinda stretch and “crack” my back. Immediate relief each time.

Thank you sir for this technique. Brought so much relief after months on vertigo

I do this alot its super super relaxing

I usually hang from a pull-up bar (by my hands) and then slowly relax the muscles in my back and legs. It's a great feeling but you have to tighten everything back up before you drop down.

Some just go ahead and hang by their fingernails from a high clothesline.

What happens if u don’t tighten up

When it’s cold outside my lower back starts hurting. I tried this exercise and it really helped relieve that lower back pain. Thanks. 👍
