Responders, as I continue to get questions from readers and folks in some of my talks I thought it necessary to give you one of my favorite injury prevention stretches. It is a hip and Pirformis stretch. But I warn you that it’s difficult to do. Find a surface that allows you to lay your leg flat and keep your spine straight and rigid. As always hold the stretch for 60 seconds, remember that a stretch should be moderately uncomfortable and not painful. Do this stretch 2 times a day every day while on duty!
