How do you stretch the Sartorius muscle?
The Sartorius muscle is the longest muscle in the body. It runs from your Ilium down to the top of the Tibia just below the knee, mostly on the medial (internal ) side of the thigh. It is involved in hip flexion, abduction, external rotation and knee flexion. A couple ways to stretch it are the butterfly stretch and a lunge stretch.
To do the butterfly stretch sit on the floor and bend your knees and move your legs to either side as you bring the soles of your feet together in front of you. Pull your feet in toward your crotch and rest your elbows on your knees. You can provide additional stretching by pushing down on your knees with your elbows.
The lunge stretch is performed by doing a lunge but with the foot of the leg that is bent elevated on a low bench or step. Hold on to something for balance and push your hips forward. You shold feel a stretch in the front of the leg that is extended behind you.
Do a Google search for muscle stretches and you should be able to find photos of these stretches if you don’t understand my descriptions.
