QUADRICEP STRETCH

| No TrackBacks
This exercise is ideal for anyone that does sports that develop the front of the legs more than the back. These sports would be: cycling, basketball, and volley ball; just to name a few. It is also great for reducing knee pain that is caused from tightness in the thigh muscles. If you suffer from low back pain due to tight hips, this could help.

#1 Stand with your back toward a support shelf. Bend your knee bringing your heel toward your buttock. Place your foot on the support and sit back onto your heel. Don't arch your lower back keep it straight. Hold the stretch 60 seconds then change sides. Repeat 3 times.
