This is an extremely practical plan for office-workers because the posterior chain of the legs is one of the weakest areas in our bodies due to our modern lifestyles of excess sitting. If you reduce the tension around the hips and increase the mobility of the hip joint itself, you can drastically reduce most low back pain and dysfunction.
