Stretching should be uncomfortable yet pain-free.

Dr. DeWitt recommends these stretches to his patients. If one hurts, stop.

How

  1. Stand up. Keep your upper back straight to avoid straining other muscles.
  2. Bend forward until you feel the stretch in the back of the leg, and hold.
  3. Stand upright and move around a few steps before repeating.
