Lateral Hamstring Stretch with Strap Stretch
Back of the Body Stretches
•
3m 29s
Try not to pull your leg down with the strap, but up and across the body, so you are pulling up/ parallel to the floor, rather than down towards it. This helps us not to compress the hip joint by accident.
Never push through pain and do not stretch if injured. If pregnant or physically impaired, get the OK from your doctor before stretching.
