Sit in a
comfortable upright posture and scooted forward on the seat
of your chair.
Place your left
leg straight out in front to you.
Bring your toe
up to keep foot in neutral position.
Press both hands
gently on the middle of your upper left leg.
Lean forward at
the hips to gently stretch the hamstring.
Avoid bending
your back forward.
Hold for 15
seconds.
Repeat with
right leg.
Complete 4 to 6
stretches on each side before moving to the next stretch.
Be gentle: The
stretch may be limited by hip or knee discomfort.
Alternative:
Place your straight leg with foot resting on a box (or wastebasket turned on its
side). Add a forward lean at your hips to gently stretch
your hamstring.
