- Consult your doctor before trying this stretch.
- Start by placing the leg of the side you wish to stretch behind
as shown above. In this case the left.
- Next, move your body forward so that you feel a stretch in the
front of this hip.
- Make sure you don't increase the curve in your back as you come
forward (the Psoas connects the back with the front of the hip).
Sometimes it helps to tighten the stomach muscles as you come
forward. This will prevent too much arching of the back.
- Hold for 30-60 seconds and perform twice a day or when you have
back pain.
