Supine biceps femoris stretch

Description: Lie supine with one hip flexed 90 degrees (target leg) and the opposite leg straight and flat on the floor. Next, adduct the target leg across the body and extend the knee until a mild stretch is felt in the lateral hamstrings. The stretch should not cause pain or extreme discomfort. Keep both shoulders flat on the ground during this stretch. Avoid rotating the torso toward the stretched leg. [ID: stretch04]
