How to perform Modified Thomas Hip-Flexor Stretch

1. Sit near the end of a stable bench that fully supports your back and head when you lie down.
2. Hold one knee toward your chest and roll back while allowing the other thigh to hang beyond the end of the bench.
3. Keep the held knee close enough to control the pelvis and let the hanging knee bend naturally without pushing the thigh downward.
4. Bring the hanging leg back up before releasing the held knee and sitting up; repeat on the other side.
