Remember when the spring equinox happened, and we were all ready for spring to come? Then, you saw more snow in the forecast? Although spring is around the corner, you may still need help with warming up your muscles, and in particular, your back and back body to prepare for spring activities. Before you go for a hike up to Mt. Tabor, cycle along the Willamette, create the most epic garden, I highly recommend a dynamic back stretch to warm up your muscles before your spring ahead.
