Borrowed from yoga, Child’s Pose is a calming stretch that helps lengthen the spine and relax surrounding muscles.
Start by kneeling and sitting back on your heels. Fold your torso forward, extending your arms in front of you or resting them by your sides. Lower your chest and forehead toward the floor and breathe slowly.
Hold the position for 30 seconds to a minute. If needed, place a pillow under your hips or between your legs for support.
This stretch is especially helpful because it combines gentle movement with relaxation—something your body needs when dealing with nerve pain.
