-Sit on one chair with the base of the spine right at the back of the seat and put your feet on another chair with the soles of the feet against the backrest.
-Without allowing the foot to leave the back of the one chair or your bum from the back of the other gently bend your knee upwards (about 3 inches). Use your hands to help if moving your knees is difficult. Repeat this slowly about five times ? you will be surprised to find that you can feel your leg lengthening.
-Repeat with the other leg.
-Put both feet onto the other chair with the soles against the backrest of the second chair and relax. This will slowly stretch out the back of the legs completely painlessly.
-Lean away from the back of the seat you are sitting on and put your hands as far down your legs as you can EASILY reach and lean on your hands. This will increase the stretch.
DO NOT FORCE YOUR BODY ANYWHERE IT DOES NOT WANT TO GO EASILY.
We can do more or less anything we like with loose and soft muscles they are like elastic the moment we attempt to force them anywhere they will tense up and we are wasting our time at best at worse we are risking damage.
* Like any exercise program, please consult your healthcare professional before you begin. Please stop immediately if any of the exercises cause pain or harm to your body.
