Single knee-to-chest stretch
- Lie on your back with your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor. You can put a small pillow under your head and neck if it is more comfortable.
- Clasp your hands under one knee and bring the knee to your chest. Keep your other foot flat on the floor.
- Keep your lower back pressed to the floor. Hold the stretch for at least 15 to 30 seconds.
- Relax and lower the knee to the starting position.
- Repeat 2 to 4 times with each leg.
To get more stretch, put your other leg flat on the floor while pulling your knee to your chest.
