Hold on to something for balance. Standing on one leg, grasp the
foot of the other leg. Keep your knee pointing down. Pull up with
light pressure. You do NOT need to pull up all the way to your
buttocks. If it feels uncomfortable or painful, you are putting too
much strain on the knee joint.Hold your foot behind you for 10-20
seconds, then switch sides. You should feel the stretch in the
front of the thigh.
