Heel slides help you regain your range of motion by stretching the muscles on top of your thigh. Do 2 to 4 repetitions several times during the day.

• Lie down on the floor or the bed with your leg flat.
• Slowly begin to slide your heel toward your buttocks, keeping your heel on the floor or bed. Your knee will begin to bend.
• Continue to slide your heel and bend your knee until it becomes a little uncomfortable and you can feel a small amount of pressure inside your knee.
• Hold this position for about 6 seconds.
• Slide your heel back down until your leg is straight on the floor or bed.
