This stretch targets one of the most common sources of outer thigh tightness and helps reduce strain from running or sitting.
Instructions
- Lie on your side with a foam roller under your outer thigh, between the hip and knee.
- Cross your top leg over in front for support.
- Shift your weight onto the roller and relax the muscles in your bottom leg.
- Roll slowly from the hip to just above the knee, pausing for 10–30 seconds on tight spots.
- Switch sides and repeat.
