To Perform the Prone Hip Internal Rotation Stretch:
- Lie on your stomach and bend one knee so your shin is pointing up to the ceiling (Figure 1).
- Keeping your pelvis flat on the ground, rotate your thigh so your foot swings out away from your body towards the floor (Figure 2).
- To increase this stretch reach your arm back and gently your foot farther towards the floor (Figure 3).
- Hold this stretch for 2 seconds, then return to the starting position.
- Repeat 10 times. If you are very tight or have very limited flexibility with this stretch you can also hold the last stretch last stretch for 15-30 seconds.
