When shadowing a physical therapist I've also seen this one done laying down. You can flex (bend) your hip and then put your ankle on the knee so that you have basically the same posture, with out any trouble trying to keep the back straight
Thank you, sir. It made a great deal of sense. One question: When sitting on the sit bones, I tend to sit more on the side where my leg is bent. Should I be distributing the weight equally?
I have very bad pain in my sciatic nerve mostly is the buttocks area. I Also have spine disease so getting on the floor to do so many of the stretches they say help with this pain is impossible for me. I saw this video did it 3-times in about as many minutes and already it feels so much better. Thanks.
I get pain in my upper right leg a lot, and after doing this stretch for a few seconds I could immediately feel the effect, and within ten minutes all of the aches were gone. Hell, my right leg felt better than my left, which almost never has any pain. I'm fucking stunned.
This is the single most important video of my life, thank you. I sit at my computer far too much, and this is incredibly helpful. I've been feeling better all day.
sorry ... am i supposed to feel some kind of pain when i strech it like this? im pretty sure my back is not totally ok, im pretty young tho, but it just does not feel like its doing anything!
Thank you, great stretch! How long should I be holding it for and how many reps do you recommend?
