I have that same thing. I inherited it from my mom. I remember when i was a kid about 10 year old. I went to the YMCA. I think it was a tumbling class. The first day they had us sitting with our legs open and had everyone trying to touch their toes. Well I could touch my knees only. Everyone was doing better than I was. The instructor comes up behind me and says. "You can do better than that". So he pushes me on my back forcing me to bend more. Damn that hurt like hell. That mofo. I never went back. But listen up. You can do stretching exercises. You just have short tendons. In time you'll be able to touch the floor. I promise. =)

ok you do want to see a doctor if this persists or worsens, there are some medical problems that can cause stiff back, good luck
