Technique

How to perform Intermediate Groin Stretch

  1. Lie on your back with both legs extended and loop a flat therapy band around one foot.
  2. Hold the band and guide that straight leg upward and then outward to the same side.
  3. Keep the opposite leg and side of your pelvis grounded rather than rolling after the raised leg.
  4. Use gentle band tension to hold the inner-thigh and hamstring stretch without swinging into it.
  5. Ease the leg back toward the middle, lower it, and repeat on the other side.
