Buttocks Flexibility Test

To do this test stretch, follow these steps:
  • Sit up tall in a chair with your back straight, your abdominals lifted, and your shoulders down.
  • Place your left ankle on your right quad just above your knee and gently press your knee toward the floor with your left hand as you bend forward at the hip and tilt your pelvis back.
  • Remember to keep your opposite hip on the seat of your chair and your back straight. Look out at the floor in front of you, not at your feet.
  • Make a note at what place on the clock face your knee stops moving.
    • 1:00 is tight.
    • 2:00 is a healthy range of motion.
    • 3:00 is very flexible.
  • Repeat this stretch with your right leg.
    • 11:00 is tight.
    • 10:00 is a healthy range of motion.
    • 9:00 is very flexible.
