Banded TFL Stretch
Written By David Song
BANDED TFL STRETCH
This stretch is used to stretch the anterior hip. The target hip will be the trail leg. Start by looping a heavy strength band around the trail leg’s hip and anchoring it down to a stable object in front of you. Rotate the trail hip internally by roughly 20-25 degrees and allow the band to pull the hip forwards. You may deepen the stretch by raising the arms overhead. Hold for 3-5 breaths or 30-60 seconds as needed.
