Full quads stretch

Stretches help to keep the tissues from contracting and limiting your range of motion.

 

Hold the position for 20 seconds.

 

This is the classic quads stretch. If too difficult, you might ask someone to help you with this.

The idea is to stretch slowly and for several minutes at a time.
