The posture scan does not measure thoracic kyphosis, lordosis, or flat-back posture directly. This exercise may still help mobility and strength that support overall alignment — it is wellness education, not a diagnosis.

Adductor Stretch demonstration

How to do it

  1. Sit on the floor with your left leg extended comfortably out to the side and the kneecap facing upward.
  2. Bend the right knee and place the sole of your right foot next to the inside of the left knee.
  3. Keep both sit bones grounded and hinge forward slightly from the hips toward the straight leg until you feel a mild stretch along the inner thigh.
  4. Keep the spine long and the torso facing the straight leg without collapsing or bending sideways.
  5. Repeat on opposite side.

Form cues

  • Keep the straight-leg kneecap facing upward and do not force the knee flat.
  • The stretch should be felt along the inner thigh, not inside the knee.
  • If the straight knee is uncomfortable, soften it and reduce the forward hinge.
