The cobbler stretch is a great anterior hip opener, which we use in many situations including for people who have chronically tight hip flexors from prolonged sitting. However it sometimes is not accessible for some patients because the position of the traditional cobbler with the heels in line with the pelvis, can create a little too much lumbar curve for some people. Steve and I recorded this modified version of the cobbler which still achieves its main goal but with a slight accommodation that virtually eliminates most cases of lower back pain from the stretch.
