This video shows you how to use the PNF technique, and the wall, to safely and effectively stretch the quadriceps. The wall allows you to move into the stretch slowly and carefully, while increasing flexibility in this powerful muscle.

Thank you! I just started these during the new challenge for 2024. Each day has been great so far. How frequently do you recommend doing the ones we know we especially need? Can they be used daily?
HI David, During this stretch you suggest engaging the glute on the same side as the quad you're stretching - as hard as I try nothing happens, I can't seem to able to link the thought of activating the muscle with any actual action in the muscle. Is there something I can do to make that connection and get my glutes firing on command! Thanks
David, thank you for this wonderful stretch. My quads are SO tight all the time, regardless of my level of activity or inactivity. This video brought real relief.
My question: When I deepen the stretch by lifting my torso with hands on my front knee, I feel strain in the quadricep in that front leg. Is there a way to avoid that? Does it mean I need to lower my hands again?
