What Changed After Stretching For 10 Minutes A Day For 30 Days?

Since my first physical education class in elementary school, I have heard a lot of good things about stretching exercises, but I didn't take it seriously back then. When I was about 30 years old, I started to have occasional back pain. The medicines I took didn't help, so I had to look for other solutions to this problem. So I decided to conduct an experiment and incorporate stretching into my daily life. After 10 minutes of muscle stretching every day for a month, you will see unexpected changes in your body. I would like to share the results I experienced after this experiment, especially for "We" . I also want to encourage my readers to follow my example.
My stretching routine:
Bend from head to knees

Sit on the floor with your right leg extended to the side and your left knee bent, bringing the sole of your left foot close to the inside of your right thigh. Bend over to the right side and grab your right foot with both hands. Hold for 60 seconds, then switch sides.
Frog Pose
Sit on the floor with your feet under your hips and knees wide apart. Keeping your feet on the ground, lift your hips and walk your hands along the floor as far forward as you can. Move your legs apart until you feel a stretch in your thighs. Hold the pose for 2 minutes.
Cobra Pose
Lie face down. Extend your legs behind you and place your hands on the floor under your shoulders. Extend your elbows to lift your torso off the floor. Hold the pose for two minutes.
Downward Facing Dog
Place your hands and feet shoulder-width apart on the floor . Keep your arms and legs straight and hold the position for 2 minutes.
Sit on the floor with your feet extended in front of you. Bend your left knee and rest your right elbow on it. Place your left hand on the floor behind you and look over your left shoulder. Hold for 60 seconds, then switch sides and repeat.
