This page provides details for the Single Knee To Chest Stretch. This stretch helps to stretch your glutes, hips and lower back. This stretch also helps to improve the flexibility needed for high kicks (i.e. axe kicks). For high axe kicks, you should also work on your hamstring stretches.

All stretches should be supervised by a trained instructor in order to prevent injuries and to ensure the proper technique is utilized.
