How to do it
- Lie on your back with your knees bent and the soles of the feet pressed together. Have your partner hold your knees. This will be your starting position.
- Attempt to squeeze your knees together, while your partner prevents any movement from occurring.
- After 10-20 seconds, relax your muscles as your partner gently pushes your knees towards the floor. Be sure to inform your helper when the stretch is adequate to prevent injury or overstretching.
