Starting Position

  • Keep your back straight and lean forward.
  • Rest your elbows on your knees or if you are flexible enough put your hands on the floor.
  • Gently roll the ball back and pull your chest up to increase the stretch in your thighs and buttocks.
  • Repeat this on the other side.
Action
  • Hold this position.
Stretches

Physio Tips
  • To avoid strain on your lower back, be sure to maintain the normal curve (lordosis) in your lower back.
  • It is normal to feel a stretch but you should not feel pain. Do not do this stretch if you experience pain. Consult a physical therapist.
