Flat lower back (lost lumbar curve): how to restore it?

Your lower back is meant to have a gentle inward curve, and when that curve flattens out the back can feel tired, achy and oddly stiff to move. It usually is not the spine itself losing its shape - it is the pelvis getting tucked under by tight hamstrings and hips and an overworked lower back, which pulls the natural curve flat. Long hours of sitting are the usual culprit, quietly reshaping how you stand.

Gravity Stretching helps by releasing what is pulling the curve flat. Decompression in the straps unloads the spine, and slow, supported stretches free the tight hamstrings and hips so the pelvis can sit in its natural place again and the lumbar curve can return on its own. Everything is gentle and led by you - the straps hold your weight, we start with a few seconds, and we work from the hip rather than forcing the back.

Give it a steady, regular rhythm and the body remembers how to stand tall and balanced. This is a wellness practice, not a medical treatment - if you have a diagnosed condition or the pain is severe, check with your doctor before you begin.
