Kneeling Sartorius Stretch
The half-kneeling hip flexor stretch with the back foot swung OUT to the side; turning the back hip in reaches the sartorius.
How to do it
Setup
Half-kneeling, back knee down on a mat, front foot flat ahead, hands on the hips.
Steps
- Swing the back foot out to the side, knee staying down.
- Tuck the tailbone and press the back hip forward.
- Hold and breathe, then switch sides.
Common mistakes
Arching the lower back to go further: tuck the tailbone first. Knee twisting on the floor as the foot swings: pad it and turn from the hip. Torso leaning forward: stay tall over the back knee.
Breathing
Slow and even through the hold.
