HIP FLEXOR & GLUTE STRETCH | Stretch Therapy Part 2

In part 2 of my hands-on mobility workshop at LifeTime Athletic Club, I share three of my favorite stretches for the hip complex and how to perform them.

For the Wishbone Stretch:

⚒ Place patient’s foot on your ribcage and position your body sideways

⚒ Put just enough pressure on top knee to keep lower back flat

⚒ Hook your other leg on the patient’s foot and flex knee to increase rectus femoris stretch

For the Wishbone - Hamstring Stretch:

⚒ Utilize this stretch when patient’s lower back is arching during the Wishbone Stretch

⚒ Extend client’s top leg to lengthen hamstring and slightly posteriorly tilt pelvis

⚒ Hook patient’s foot in the same manner as the Wishbone Stretch

For the Wishbone - Glute Stretch:

⚒ Keep client’s top knee flexed and cross leg over their body

⚒ Interlock your hands and add compression to the thigh

⚒ Be careful not to induce anterior impingement
