If there's one exercise to add to your routine in 2022, make it the Couch Stretch!

It has the ability to quickly improve your hip and thigh mobility leading to a much happier low back, hip, and knee!

This amazingly effective mobility exercise is best performed on a chair (or couch) but can be done on the ground for those that are up for more of a challenge.

The idea is to initially place your knee into the back corner of the chair/wall while leaning forward horizontally. Then, as your mobility allows, slowly extend more vertically from your hips until you feel an unmistakable tightness at the front of your hip/thigh.

Then, tense up your glutes and thigh for 5-10 seconds and then relax. Repeat as often as you feel comfortable making sure togo further into the stretch as things begin to loosen.

If you'd like a little more guidance, make sure to ask one of our PTs when you're next in!
