Quadriceps Stretch
This stretch promotes an upright posture and reduces pain with walking and stair climbing. The quadriceps stretch is very important to maintain healthy flexibility and decrease lactic acid accumulation in the legs. Do this stretch if you find yourself on your feet all day long.
Key Points:
1. Stand with back straight and feet shoulder width apart.
2. Bring one leg back and place it on a steady and safe object until a stretch is felt, this point may be different for everyone.
3. Some may be able to touch your heel all the way to the backside, others will barely be able to bring their leg up, follow your own cues.
4. Lean back, and hold for 10-15 seconds.
5. Repeat multiple times per day.
