Conseils techniques
A common mistake is to pull too hard on the foot, causing discomfort or pain. You should feel a gentle pull along the front of your thigh and knee, but not pain. If you feel pain, you are pulling too hard and need to ease up a bit.
Keep your back straight and your pelvis slightly tucked under. Avoid arching your back or tilting your hips forward, as this can decrease the effectiveness of the stretch and put unnecessary strain on your back.
Hold the stretch for about 30
