| | While sitting on the floor, extend one leg out, with your foot flat against the wall and your knee straight. Gently lean forward until a stretch is felt in the back of the thigh and upper calve. Hold this position for a count of 5 seconds. Repeat 5 times, then perform this same exercise on the opposite leg. |  Tip:
A most valuable exercise to aid relief when there is lower back pain involvement.*
 Caution:
Do not continue if you experience increased tingling numbness or leg pain after doing this stretch. |
