Hip-to-heel press

Hitzmann says the hip-to-heel press teaches you the difference between stretching muscles and lengthening fascia.

Begin with the same position, on your back with a towel under your hips.

Keep your left leg bent while you extend your right leg out long.

Repeat on the other side.

With your foot pressed down begin to tuck your pelvis as your pull your left knee into your chest.
