Knee to Chest

Lying on the back, one leg straight, pulling the other knee to the chest with both hands

Stretching should be uncomfortable yet pain-free.

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

How

  1. Lie on your back and keep one leg straight.
  2. Bend the other knee up and pull it toward your chest as far as you can without pain, and hold.
  3. Repeat with the other leg, then with both legs at the same time.
