To perform the Assisted Prone Lying Quads Stretch, follow these steps:
1. Start by lying flat on your stomach on a comfortable, flat surface. Extend your legs straight behind you.
2. Bend your right knee, bringing your heel towards your buttock.
3. Reach back with your right hand and grab your right ankle. If you cannot reach your ankle, you can use a towel or a strap. Loop it around your foot and hold onto the ends.
4. Gently pull your foot closer to your buttock until you feel a stretch in the front of your thigh. Make sure to keep your knees close together and don't let your knee drift out to the side.
5. Hold this stretch for about 30 seconds, then slowly release your foot and straighten your leg.
6. Repeat the stretch with your left leg.
7. Do this exercise for 2-3 sets of 10-15 repetitions on each leg.
Remember, the goal is to feel a gentle stretch, not pain. If you feel any pain, ease off the stretch a bit. Always keep your movements smooth and controlled to prevent injury.
