A member asked:
Is there any limit to the number of times a day i can stretch my back to try & eliminate a constant stiff back & back pain? is more better?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: There is no limit. Doing more does not make it better. just do not do it even though it hurts. Avoid activities that hurts your back.

No: No, there is no limit. However, if you continue to need to do this in order to have relief of back stiffness, I would recommend you see your doctor for evaluation.
