To perform a knee full extension stretch, follow these steps:
- Get Seated: Sit in a chair that allows your knee to bend at approximately a ninety-degree angle. A higher chair might be more suitable.
- Extend the Leg: Slowly raise one leg until it is horizontal, or as straight as you comfortably can extend it. This is the full extension.
- Hold the Position: Maintain this extended position for about five seconds.
- Lower Slowly: Gradually lower your leg back down to the ground.
- Repeat: Repeat the process with your other leg.
This exercise helps improve knee extension and flexibility. Remember to listen to your body and avoid pushing past any pain.
