Single Knee-to-Chest Stretch

About

The Single Knee-to-Chest Stretch is a versatile exercise that targets multiple muscle groups, primarily focusing on the lower back, hips, and hamstrings. It involves lying on your back with knees bent and feet flat on the floor. You then grasp one knee with both hands and gently pull it towards your chest, keeping the other leg flat on the floor. This movement helps loosen tight muscles, improve flexibility, and enhance range of motion in the hips and lower back. By performing this stretch, you can relieve tension and pain in the lumbar region, improve circulation to the back muscles, and support core strength. It is beneficial for reducing stiffness, especially after prolonged sitting or inactivity. The stretch can be modified to suit different comfort levels and is easily incorporated into daily routines, such as morning or evening stretches. Regular practice can lead to improved posture and reduced muscle strain during daily activities like walking or climbing stairs.
