Double knee-to-chest stretch
- Lie on your back with your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor. You can put a small pillow under your head and neck if it is more comfortable.
- Bring your knees to your chest and hold them with your hands. Or you can hold at the fronts of your shins or behind your thighs.
- Keep your lower back pressed to the floor. Hold the stretch for 15 to 30 seconds.
- Relax, and lower your knees to the starting position.
- Repeat 2 to 4 times.
