Knee - Flexion

Expert Advice

Keep your hips square and your spine neutral. Do not force the heel towards the buttocks if it causes discomfort.

How-to-do Steps

  1. Stand upright and hold onto a stable surface for balance if needed.
  2. Bend one knee and bring your heel towards your buttocks.
  3. Reach back with the same side hand and gently pull your ankle closer to deepen the stretch.
  4. Hold for 20-30 seconds, then release.
  5. Repeat on the other leg.
