Lateral Hip & Low Back Stretch for Runners

For me, this lateral hip stretch is always pretty intense!

Using your own bodyweight bearing down onto the stretch with a combination of hip flexion, adduction and rotation, this exercise specifically targets tightness in the Glute complex, lateral Hamstring (Biceps Femoris), and even into the lower back (QL).

A number of the runners who come to me struggling with ITB Syndrome have found this particularly helpful recently. Give it a go a few times daily for the next 2-3 weeks and see how you get on...

Why rotate this way, not the other? Check out my reasoning here...
