The Magic of the Couch Stretch
The couch stretch focuses on achieving full hip extension, which is different from just extending the hip like standing up from a squat. This stretch helps to address issues of knee and back pain caused by a lack of spine and hip extension. The key is to get the knee behind the butt, not just knees over toes. By practicing the couch stretch daily, along with isometric exercises to engage the glutes, people can improve hip flexibility, reduce stiffness in the quads, and alleviate back and hamstring issues.
