Inner Thigh Stretch
The Side Lunge Stretch (Inner Thigh Stretch) is one of my favourite stretches! It’s great for groin pain, and is a perfect stretch for anyone with hip or knee arthritis! Scroll to the bottom for a video demonstration!
Step 1:
Stand tall with the legs a comfortable distance apart. Keep the knees straight, and you may even feel a gentle stretch in this first position.
Step 2:
Keeping one leg straight, sit your butt BACK and sink into a bend in the other leg. Gently rest the arms on your thigh for support as needed. You should feel a gentle pull all along the inside of the straight leg
Then repeat on the other side:
*NOTE: The further back you sit your bum into the stretch, the deeper it will feel (lean the head forward, sit the bum BACK!)
*Never do an exercise that causes you pain*
