Description

Lie on your back, then grasp the back of your thigh and gently pull it towards your chest. Slowly straighten your knee while keeping your thigh close to your chest, until you feel a comfortable stretch at the back of your leg. Hold this position for the recommended duration. Then, gradually release the extension of the leg and let it naturally bend under the effect of gravity.
