Lower Body Stretches
 

    by Kevin Roberts, ATC, M.Ed.

The following are four lower body stretches that increase flexibilty and decrease injuries.  They are simple and easy to do ANYWHERE-ANYTIME!  They can be done on the basketball court, soccer field, baseball field, gym, or any playing field you call home.  Stretching is essential to maintaining flexibilty and greatly decreases your chances for serious injury. 

The pictures show two quad stretches and two hamstring stretches.  They should be done 3-4 times each, holding for 30-45 second each - EVERYDAY!
