Assume a position on all fours with the hands under the shoulders and the knees approximately hip-distance apart. 2. Bend forward from the hips, and thread one arm behind the other with the palm facing up on the floor (see figure 6.11a). Continue reaching the arm across your body to target the area. 3. Lower your body toward the ground to increase the stretch (see figure 6.11b). Press into the floor with the other hand to stabilize. Don't allow the body to collapse. TIP To increase the stretch, lean forward into the shoulder more and reach while you stretch in the exhalation. Figure 7.4 Hip Abductors-Latissimus Dorsi-Quadratus Lumborum Stretch INSTRUCTIONS 1. Assume a position on your hands and knees with the hands wider than the shoulders, the fingers spread apart, and the knees together (see figure 7.4a). 2. Exhale and slowly rock the hips to the right side and turn the head to look toward the feet (see figure 7.4b). 3. Alternate rocking side to side, dropping the hips farther down each time. Figure 8.3 Power net, gluteus medius, and piriformis stretch INSTRUCTIONS 1. The athlete lies in a supine position with the arms out to the sides. Kneel on one knee over athletes thighs. 2. Place your outside hand on the outside of the athletes ankle and your other hand on the back of the athletes knee. Use only slight pressure. The focus of the stretch is the ankle and not the knee. 3. Bend the athletes knee to move it toward the center of the chest with the foot below the knee and toward the floor so the leg is in a triangle shape (see figure 8.3). The athlete presses their knee into your hand. 4. Lift the athletes body to bring the femur out of the socket and create traction. Then, gently drop the athletes weight to find the athletes range and increase the stretch. 5. Repeat the stretch on the same side if there is still tightness, or switch sides and repeat.
