Bedtime Stretch for Releasing the Front of the Pelvis and Front Thighs

This is a bedtime stretch where you lie back supported by a foam roller or long cushion, bend your knees and open them outward, then slowly release the front of the hips and front thighs. It can help reduce heaviness in the lower body and a tight, restricted feeling in the front of the pelvis after a long day of sitting or standing.

Caution

  • Do not force your lower back to arch, and adjust so your ribs and pelvis do not lift excessively.
  • Stop immediately if you feel pain in your hips, lower back, or knees.
  • If the foam roller feels uncomfortable, lower the height by using a low cushion or pillow.
  • Hold the position while breathing slowly within a range that does not cause discomfort.
