Thank you, Debra. I have been having pain in my right hip which has lead to pain in the back of my leg and to PT per my doctor and haven’t been able to takes walks (which I love) been riding my bike when possible. I sit at a computer all day for a living. I will be doing these stretches daily. Thank you!!

Even after a few days of these – about 8 minutes – women say they move more freely, long distance runners feel less tight, and golfers feel they’ve got less stress to the lower back after 9 or 18 holes.
