Hip Flexor Stretch
This is one of the best stretches for your low back and hips that will make a difference in reducing stress. However, this stretch is one of the most difficult stretches to perform correctly, so please pay attention.
- Start in a lunged position: Have both feet about shoulder width apart. Step forward, approximately one shoulder-width length, with your right foot.
- Your front knee (the right knee) should be slightly bent.
- The back foot (the left foot) should be pointed straight ahead or towards the direction of the forward knee. Now, focus on keeping your back straight and your buttocks and tailbone tucked under you.
- Hold this position and then, translate your weight to the front leg, the right leg. Continue to maintain this locked-in position.
- You should feel a stretch at the front of your left hip.
Hold this position for thirty seconds and then switch legs. Stretch each side 2-3 times a day.
