When I do my daily Taiji practice (at night) I'm mindful to work on the lengthening & release of my tailbone, so my spine is gently pulled straight in a vertical direction (just at the right level of tension), followed by the release. When mindfully synchronized with the slow & repeated turning of the hips, my spine (in particular - the lower lumbar region) soon feels great and prepares me for a comfortable and easy transition to the sleep state. I find this a therapeutic antidote to a stiff and tense lower lumbar region especially after hours of sitting or inactivity.
