Back pain in the elderly due to lumbar spinal stenosis is a common condition. I've seen a lot of links on the web recently about stretches to alleviate this condition. Interestingly, The usual position when riding a road bike with drop handlebars probably produces similar and effective results.
. How do you stretch spinal stenosis?
To do this exercise - Place hands and knees onto stable surface into a table position. Reach your arms out in front of you and then slowly lower your bottom towards your heels until you feel a stretch in your back. Hold for 10 seconds. Repeat 5 times.
