Why Morning Stiffness Happens — Long hours of sleep can stiffen spinal muscles and joints. 

Knee-to-Chest Stretch — Gently pull one knee toward your chest to release lower back tension.

 Cat-Cow Stretch — Alternate arching and rounding your spine to improve mobility.

Child's Pose — A gentle stretch that relaxes the lower back and hips.

Pelvic Tilts — Strengthens core muscles that support the spine.

Seated Spinal Twist — Improves rotation and relieves tightness along the back.

Standing Forward Bend — Stretches hamstrings and lower back together.

Cobra Stretch — Gently arches the back to counter forward-slouching posture.

Deep Breathing — Slow breaths help muscles relax more deeply during stretches.

Final Tip — Do these stretches slowly; never force a stretch into pain.
