Single Knee-to-Chest Stretch
StretchBeginnerFlexibility 1:00
Goal of the Drill
Release tension in the lower back and hips and support hip flexion range; offer a gentle mobility/stretch option for both the preparation and the recovery phase.
Explanation of the Drill
The player lies on their back with the legs straight or the knees slightly bent. One knee is grasped with both hands and drawn toward the chest while the other leg rests comfortably on the floor. Keep the lower back close to the floor and the shoulders and neck relaxed. The stretch is felt behind the hip and in the lower back.
As a warm-up, hold briefly and under control for 2-3 breaths; as a cool-down, hold longer and deeper as a static stretch. Switch sides when the time is up.
