Performing the: A Step-by-Step Tutorial Couch Stretch
Then, place the knee of your kneeling leg against the couch or chair, with the top of your foot facing upward and resting on the surface of the couch or chair.
Slowly lift your torso upright, keeping your back straight and your hands on your hips for balance.
Hold this position, ensuring your hips are squared and facing forward, for 30 seconds to 2 minutes, feeling a stretch in the front of your hip and thigh.
Carefully come out of the stretch and switch sides, repeating the exercise with the other leg.
