Supported quadriceps stretch
Stretch the front of the thigh with balance support.
How to do it
- Hold a stable support and bend one knee behind you.
- If comfortable, hold that ankle and keep your knees near each other.
- Release the foot slowly and change sides.
Form check
Do not force the heel toward the body or arch your back.
Make it easier
Skip the ankle hold and use a smaller standing knee bend.
Move within a comfortable range and keep breathing. Stop if a movement causes pain or you feel unwell. Ask a qualified trainer for help with unfamiliar equipment.
