Hamstrings Stretch While sitting on the floor, extend one leg out, with your foot flat against the wall and your knee straight. Gently lean forward until a stretch is felt in the back of the thigh and upper calve. Hold this position for a count of 5 seconds. Repeat 5 times, then perform this same exercise on the opposite leg. Tip: A most valuable exercise to aid relief when there is lower back pain involvement.* Caution: Do not continue if you experience increased tingling numbness or leg pain after doing this stretch. Repeat this sequence 5 times. Perform 2 times per day. Perform 5 days per week. *NOTE: It is normal to experience slight discomfort while performing stretches or certain exercises. However, if any exercise or stretch causes pain or more than just slight discomfort, please discontinue the exercise or stretch. » back Make your online appointment here or ring (02) 9540 1833
