Heel SlidesHeel slides help you regain your range
of motion by stretching the muscles on top of your thigh. Do 2 to 4 repetitions
several times during the day. - Lie down on the floor or the bed with your
leg flat.
- Slowly begin to slide your heel toward your buttocks,
keeping your heel on the floor or bed. Your knee will begin to bend.
- Continue to slide your heel and bend your knee until it becomes a
little uncomfortable and you can feel a small amount of pressure inside your
knee.
- Hold this position for about 6 seconds.
- Slide your
heel back down until your leg is straight on the floor or bed.
