The World’s Greatest Stretch lives up to its name by combining hip mobility, thoracic rotation and core strength. An essential pre-workout exercise or perfect for those who spend a long time sitting – the World’s Greatest Stretch is the perfect all-rounder! It hits our checklist for the three key areas that we aim to mobilize – ankles, hips and thoracic spine. The point is to lengthen and strengthen simultaneously through a series of exercises – none better than this one!
- Step forward into a deep lunge position, with your front foot flat and front knee bent to 90 degrees.
- Straighten your back knee and squeeze through the respective glute to feel a deep hip flexor stretch.
- Lift your inside hand and rotate your spine towards the roof. Keep your hips and knees straight.
- Rotate back to the start. Repeat 10-15 times.
Our Osteopaths, Clinical Pilates instructors and Remedial Massage therapists all work hard to ensure you feel mobile in these 3 respective areas. They are the key to the start of a comprehensive, effective mobility program.
