This hip extension exercise is great for lengthening and opening up the front of the hip. The exercise is especially effective if you sit a lot, as sitting can cause tighter hip flexor muscles and weaker hamstrings.

Let's stretch!
1. Stand behind a chair and hold onto the back for stability.
2. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and slightly bend your knees.
3. Maintain a straight line in your body and pull your right leg back as far as possible, keeping your leg straight and spine still.
4. Slowly return to the starting position.
5. Repeat and switch legs after 10 stretches.

2. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and bend your knees slightly.
3. Start with your elbows slightly bent, keep your shoulders down and look straight ahead.
4. While keeping your elbows at shoulder level, pull the band to the point where you can squeeze your shoulder blades.
5. Slowly return to the starting point and repeat.

Shoulder pain and restrictions in external rotation can limit your ability to move your arm properly, making daily activities like reaching up to put something away difficult.

Rotator cuff exercises - like the supported external rotation with band - can help strengthen your muscles and improve flexibility which is important to prevent and treat injuries.

1. Sit up straight next to a table, with your arm closest to the table up on a higher surface (like a pillow) to your side.
2. Hold a tensioned resistance band in your hand that's on the table.
3. Keeping your posture tall, rotate your forearm, lifting it upwards, while keeping your elbow in contact with the table.
4. Control the band as you return your arm to the starting position.
5. Repeat.

*Always consult your doctor or physiotherapist before starting any exercise program and before attempting this exercise.

The piriformis muscle is located deep beneath the gluteal muscles and plays an important role in hip flexibility and stability. When the muscle becomes tight or inflamed, it can cause a lot of discomfort in the lower back and can even affect the knees and ankles.

Stretching and strengthening the piriformis muscle helps to provide better hip flexibility and strength. So let's lie down and stretch!

1. Lie down on your back with your legs flat on the floor.
2. Bend one leg upwards and cross it over your other leg.
3. Gently pull the bent leg up and across your body until your glutes are pulled tight.
4. Hold for 30 seconds to a minute and release.
5. Perform three sets, then switch legs and perform another three sets.
