Edition #3 For Anyone Who Wakes Up Stiff In The Morning…

If your body takes a while to "warm up" in the morning, you're not alone — and it's not just age.

This week: The Morning Spinal Wave

Before you get out of bed, lie on your back with knees bent. Slowly tilt your pelvis forward (lower back arches slightly), then backward (lower back flattens). Repeat 10 times, moving gently and breathing throughout.

Why it matters: Overnight, the fluid in your spinal discs redistributes. This gentle movement helps lubricate the spine and signal your nervous system to "wake up" — reducing that stiff, achy feeling before your feet even hit the floor. It's especially helpful for anyone managing lower back issues, arthritis, or general stiffness.

Takes less than 2 minutes. Try it tomorrow morning and notice the difference.

Warmly, David Full Function Fitness
