"For additional things that we might recommend for a patient after low back or pelvic treatment, again there are supplements that we might recommend and those vary from person to person so dietary things along the same line but typically there is going to be a kind of set standard of stretches or exercises that we might recommend to help promote healing in a low back musculature and the lumbopelvic area as well. One good stretch that we usually recommend is that we are going to have the patient in a seated position like this and they are going to for instance cross this leg over that one and bring that knee up a little bit higher again and then they are just going to reach across with that arm all the way over and they are going to get that over behind the knee and they are just going to reach and they are going to stretch. Just take it nice and way, not need to wrench and no need to go too fast we want them to have a nice easy equal stretch and then typically after they do one side they would flip the legs and go to the opposite side so they are stretching both sides of the back. So similar stretches like that are for the hamstrings and just basic things that just help and compliment the whole area."

on 9/25/2009 Dr. Haig is great at instructing because his explanations are clearly-worded and include helpful pointers. In this, he mentions similar stretches for the hamstrings to compliment the whole area. The relationship between hamstrings and lower back is important to keep in mind.
