Objectives
Increase outer hip flexibility while in the supine position, allowing the leg to cross without disturbing overall alignment.
Use the co‐contraction of the abdominal and back extensor muscles to maintain proper torso organization as the stretch occurs.
Engage the deep abdominals to stabilize the torso, keeping the pelvis steady and preventing compensatory movement.
Focus on breathing to synchronize the movement.
