Is this for yourself or for a patient?
- HOW: Place one leg up and across on a table with the leg supported by the table, position the other leg straight with the foot supported on the ground.

With your chest up, hinge at your hip and lean forward until you feel a pull in the back of the hip in the glute region.
- FEEL: You will feel a deep stretch in the back hip on the elevated leg.
- COMPENSATION: Try to only hinge at the hip and not round your entire back, this should be a hip stretch
