The Best Leg Stretches for Runners | Tim Keeley | Physio REHAB

Are you now running more than you used to now that the gyms are closed? Or have you started running and haven't done much before? Maybe you already have a pain in the knee or the hips from the increase in running volume. Then check these essential leg stretches out. These are my must haves for any runner or someone starting out running to maintain their mobility and prevent the niggles and any major injuries down the track.
