sits down for long periods of time<\/a> needs to do this stretch. It works to stretch the hip flexors and quadriceps, helping to relieve tension in the front of the hip and thigh. Start in a seated position with your feet planted firmly on the ground. Scoot your buttocks to the front of the chair and drop your right knee to the ground. You should be in a half-kneeling position, keeping your left buttocks on the edge of the chair. Rotate your trunk a little to the left and feel the stretch along the front of your hip. Hold for 30-60 seconds and then switch sides. <\/p>\n\n\n\nSeated Pigeon Twist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n If you have a stiff lower back and tight glutes, this stretch can help relieve tension. Additionally, it may improve internal hip and lumbar rotation. Begin in a seated position with your back straight and feet planted on the floor. Cross your right leg completely over your left, resting your hamstring on top of your left thigh. Rotate your torso to the right, placing your left hand on the outside of your right knee. Grab onto the back of the chair with your right arm to feel a gentle twist. Do not over-rotate in this position! You should feel a stretch in your right glute and lower back. Hold for 30-60 seconds and then repeat on the other side. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Seated Modified Butterfly<\/h2>\n\n\n\n People tend to focus stretches on the outer hips and glutes and fail to stretch the inner thighs. This modified butterfly works to ease tension in the adductors (inner thighs) for optimal hip movement. Start in a seated position with your back straight and feet planted on the floor. Slide your buttocks to the front of the chair and keep your feet together. Separate your knees as wide as you can, using your hands to gently press on the inside of your knees to widen the stretch. Hold for 30-60 seconds and try to keep your back straight while leaning forward in the stretch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Seated Hamstring Stretch<\/h2>\n\n\n\n Similar to your hip flexors, your hamstrings tighten easy after a long day in a seated position. Decrease tension in your hamstrings to help relieve lower back and hip pain<\/a>. Begin in a seated position with your back straight and both feet planted on the floor. Scoot your buttocks to the front of the chair and extend your right leg straight out in front of you. Hinge at the hips as you lean forward and reach your fingers toward your toes. Flex your foot to deepen the stretch. Hold for 30-60 seconds and then repeat on the other leg.<\/p>\n<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
