Lower Body Exercises
| Important: Stretching and strengthening is only beneficial if the areas attempted to be stretched or strengthened are properly moving. Performing these maneuvers without a correctly functioning joint may cause further damage, or even accelerate the damage which may be already occurring. Be sure to consult your chiropractor before beginning any of the following! |
| Hamstrings |
| Bend at the waist trying to touch the ground. Try not to arch your back. Have your knees slightly bent. Hold for 30 sec to 1 min. Perform 2 times daily (morn / evening). |
| Groin |
| Advanced Piriformis |
| Basic Piriformis |
| Place the soles of your feet together and bring them as close to your groin as possible. Use your elbows to gently push your knees toward the floor. Hold for 30 sec to 1 min. Perform 2 times daily (morn / evening). |
| Place one ankle over the other knee. Begin to bend the straight leg, inching the foot closer toward your butt until you feel a good stretch. Hold for 30 sec to 1 min on each side. Perform 2 times daily (morn / evening). |
