Quadricep Stretch - Lying

Lie down on the stretching mat on your front with your legs together. Hold one foot by the laces part of the shoe (top of the foot/lower ankle - tip: if you find this hard you can use a towel and wrap it round the ankle and hold the ends).

Slowly bring your foot into your bottom while keeping your knees on the floor and together until the stretch feels like a 7/10 and hold for at least 30 seconds.


Do's Don'ts
  • Do move in a slow controlled manner
  • Do keep your head down
  • Do keep your knees together
  • Do keep your knees in contact with the floor
  • Do breathe deeply and slowly
  • Don't hold your breath
  • Don't take the stretch too far
  • Don't arch your back
  • Don't raise your head
  • Don't bounce the leg to increase the stretch
