Technique

How to perform Supine Wall Straddle Stretch

  1. Lie on your back with the legs resting up a wall, moving the pelvis away from the wall enough to keep the back comfortable.
  2. Let the legs separate slowly into a wide V while the heels remain supported.
  3. Stop at a mild inner-thigh stretch and keep a small bend in the knees if needed.
  4. Use your hands on the outer thighs to help bring the legs together, then bend the knees and roll to one side to exit.
