Hey everybody, it's Dr. Jo! Today I'm going to show you how to stretch your quadricep

tendon in several different ways because you can have strains, sprains, and automobiles...that's

not right. Let's get started. I'm going to show you how to do some on your stomach first.

So once you get on your stomach, if you're not flexible enough to just grab your foot

or ankle and pull it, you can grab a belt or a dog leash that has a loop, and put it

around your foot. This will give you a little pull so you don't have to stretch your upper

body as much. Make sure you relax your body, so you don't stress out your back. You're

going to pull the belt as far as you can, and hold the stretch for 30 seconds, and then

you're gonna relax, and do that 3 times. If you're not comfortable on your stomach, like

if your stomach bothers you, you can actually turn over on to your side as well and do the

same thing. Still taking the belt, and pulling your heel back towards your bottom. Now the

key with this one is to make sure not to bring your hip forward. If you're doing this, you're

not really stretching that quad muscle. You want to make sure that your knee is pointing

down or even slightly back behind you. So more of this motion. Again if you do this,

you're not actually going to stretch that quad muscle. If both of those are too hard

to do, or if you want a little bit more of a stretch here, you can come up. Once you

get onto your knees, you're going to bring the leg forward that you are NOT stretching.

So bring it out to about a 90 degree angle, and the quad you want to stretch is going

to have the knee down on the ground. Now if you've got knee problems too, you might want

to take a pillow or something soft, and prop you knee on it so you don't have a lot of

pressure on your knee. Once you get your knee in this position, bring your heel up, and
