Lots of requests for some more in this series, so here is another one!
When the hindlimb is brought forwards into a protraction stretch, the following are some key muscle groups are stretched:
• Hamstring muscle group — semitendinosus, semimembranosus, gracilis
• Bicep femoris
• Gluteals - superficial and accessory
• Longissimus dorsi - lumbar portion
