Standing Quadriceps Stretch

standing quad stretch

Description

1. Clasp your foot behind your body with opposite hand
2. Pull your foot upwards, and push the knee backward
3. Contract your abdominals to stabilize the pelvis (do not arch your back).
4. Press the front hip bone forward and slightly extend the hip
5. Hold the stretch
6. Repeat for each leg

Notes

• This stretch may be difficult to perform without holding onto something for support. If there is nothing available, one of the other quadriceps stretches may be more appropriate.
