Knee to chest
Start the exercise by laying on your back on a flat surface.  Bend one of your legs towards your chest and hold your knee with both hands.  Pull your knee towards your chest while keeping the other leg and back flat against the floor.  Maintain this position for about 10 to 15 seconds, then lower your leg until it is flat against the floor.  Repeat this exercise with the other knee.  Repeat sequence 5 times with each leg.

Wag the Tail
Start by going down on all fours facing down.  Try to keep your shoulders still while moving your right hip slowly to the right as far as possible.  Slowly return to the starting position.  Repeat exercise to the left now. Repeat exercise five times on each side.

Upper back stretch
Using a stool, sit with your back and head against a flat wall.  Stretch your arms toward the ceiling and hold them up for 5 seconds.  Then, try to make your shoulders touch the wall.  Hold this position for another 5 seconds.  Lower your arms.  Repeat exercise 5 times.
