Here's how to stretch your sit bones using a gentle exercise:
- Lie on your back: Find a comfortable position on your back.
- Support your head and hips: Use cushions under your head and hips for added comfort and support.
- Bend your affected leg: Bend the leg experiencing discomfort at the knee, pointing your knee upwards towards the ceiling.
- Grasp behind the knee: Gently grasp the area behind your bent knee.
- Pull towards your chest: Slowly and gently pull your knee towards your chest.
- Breathe and hold: Maintain a steady breath, and hold the stretch for 5 to 10 seconds.
This stretch helps to relieve tension and pain associated with the sit bones. Remember to be gentle and stop if you experience any sharp pain.
