Depending on your specific medical history, some or all of these exercises may not apply. Always consult with your physician before beginning a stretching program.
STRETCH #1

STRETCH #2
Lie on your back. Lean forward to grasp the outside of your ankle. Hold for 15 to 30 seconds. Repeat four to five times.
STRETCH #3
Sit on an exercise table (or a reasonable substitute), with one leg off the table and one leg straight in front of you on the table. Keeping your back straight, reach forward with outstretched arms. Hold for 15 to 30 seconds. Repeat six to ten times.
