Strength and Flexibility for Older Patients, Part 3: Knees

Hamstrings. Sit on the edge of a bed with your left foot stretched out on the bed and your right foot on the floor. Flex your left foot and point your toes up. Place your hands on your left knee and bend forward from the hips, keeping your foot cocked up (don't let the leg roll inward or outward). Attempt to grasp your foot with your hands and ease your forehead toward your shin.
