Standing Hip Flexor Stretch - Chair

Is this for yourself or for a patient?

  • HOW: Begin in a standing position with a knee bent on the chair with your foot leaning on top of the chair, safely! Keep your hips tucked and core engaged as you begin to bend the knee you are standing while you shift your body forwards to feel a stretch in your bent leg’s hip. Hold that stretch for as long as prescribed. 
  • FEEL: You should feel a stretch in your hip flexor of the knee bent up on the chair. 
  • COMPENSATION: Don’t slouch your back forwards, stay straight up.
