Psoas Stretch - "Runners Stretch"

Cliff Scherb ·

Directions

  1. Grab a Stretch-Out Strap, a towel, a rope, two belts fastened together—whatever.

  2. Loop one end around one of your feet and hold the other in the same side hand

  3. Lie on the edge of your bed with one leg planted on the ground and the other flat on the bed and parallel to the edge of the bed.  The one on the bed should be the one that the strap is looped around.

  4. Prop your torso up on your elbows.

  5. Scoot the planted foot as far forward (toward your head) as possible.  Doing so, you might feel a hamstring stretch in the planted leg.

  6. Pull on the strap, bringing your foot toward your shoulder blades.  Hold 30 seconds and repeat for each leg as needed.

Lie on your back with one leg up over your inflatable large block or chair.

  1. Your other leg is straight out on the floor with it propped up from the side.

  2. Your arms should be at 45 degrees with your palms up. Relax your upper body and notice that your low back should begin to get flatter to the floor the longer you are in this position.

  3. HOLD and relax, then repeat on other leg. (Lay in this position for a minimum of 5min and up to 20minutes for each side, left and right)
