Knee Hug Stretch Exercise Video

The knee to chest stretch, or knee hugs, are a simple way to reduce tension in the lower back.

Lying with your knees bent, lift your knees towards your chest. Place your hands around both knees and draw them towards your chest. Hold the stretch for approximately twenty seconds, feeling the muscles in your lower back and bottom relax. Rest for a few seconds, and then repeat the stretch several more times.
