Hip flexor stretch (edge of table)

null
  1. Lie on your back on a table or flat bench, with your knees and lower legs hanging off the edge of the table.
  2. Grab your good leg at the knee, and pull that knee back toward your chest. Relax your affected leg and let it hang down toward the floor until you feel a stretch in the upper thigh of your affected leg and hip.
  3. Hold the stretch for at least 15 to 30 seconds.
  4. Repeat 2 to 4 times.
  5. It's a good idea to repeat these steps with your other leg.
