If a client has trouble sitting upright with legs straight which muscles are likely tightest? Hip flexors? Hamstring?
Hi Jo,
I suggest that you perform tests for the individual muscles. I do not know whether your ACE Personal Trainer Manual contains information for it but I found a link where you can test all the muscles for flexibility http://www.exrx.net/Lists/Tests.html . Thus, you should be able to identify them. Be mindful that there is a school of thought (to which I subscribe) that says that muscles are tight to protect vulnerable areas, and stretching for its own sake may be counterproductive.
