Seated Knee to Chest Chair Exercise

A Knee to Chest exercise helps stretch your hamstring & glutes which are large muscle groups that need to be flexible to prevent injury. Flexibility also reduces stiffness & pain, allowing you to perform day-to-day activities. Physical therapist, Dr. Michael White shows us a simple seated exercise to loosen up the muscles in your lower body. Follow these steps to perform this movement on your own: Step 1: Sit up straight with your left foot firmly on the ground. Step 2: Grasp the back of your right knee & slowly pull it toward your chest until you feel a stretch. Step 3: Hold the position for thirty seconds & then repeat with your left leg. Perform thirty repetitions in total.
