Gluteal stretch


Supine Gluteal Stretch
Begin lying on your back. Using your hands, take your knee towards your opposite shoulder until you feel a stretch in the buttocks or front of your hip. Hold for 15 seconds, 4 times at a mild to moderate stretch pain-free.

Prone Gluteal Stretch Begin this stretch on your hands and knees. Place the leg to be stretched under your stomach/chest, with
your knee in front of your hips and your foot to the sides. Gently lower your upper body onto your leg, keeping your back leg straight, until you feel a stretch in the buttocks. Hold for 15 seconds, 4 times at a mild to moderate stretch pain-free.

Long Sitting Gluteal Stretch
Begin sitting on the floor with both legs in front of you. Place your foot of the leg to be stretched on the other side of your straight leg. Keeping your back straight, pull the leg to be stretched towards your chest, until you feel a stretch in the buttocks. Hold for 15 seconds, 4 times at a mild to moderate stretch pain-free.
