The Lateral Hip & Ankle Opener: This stretch should involve the hip and piriformis. However, many people lack the range of motion (ROM) in their ankles due to previous injuries or simply wearing shoes with a heel drop.

Perform this stretch for 3-5 minutes or longer on each side. Try to rock left and right, forwards and backward, to help open up the ankle

Achilles Thinking Man Stretch: The Achilles tendon is often short due to the heel raise in our shoes. A shortened Achilles affects the ability to squat with proper technique and puts our knee in danger of injuring one of its most important ligaments - the ACL.

The standing version is great for people who struggle with a comfortable floor position or when you are in the office, and leaning on the floor might not be appropriate.

Perform this stretch for 5-10 minutes on each side and focus on the worse side longer.
