When a recipient is in a supine position, which stretch primarily affects deep hip rotations?

The stretch that primarily affects deep hip rotations when a recipient is in a supine position involves the application of a stretch with the leg. This form of stretching can specifically target the muscles and connective tissues surrounding the hip joint, including the hip rotator muscles such as the piriformis and obturator internus.

When the leg is manipulated in various directions, especially in a supine position, it allows the practitioner to effectively engage and influence the deeper layers of the hip. The movements can help in improving range of motion and reducing tension in the hip area, which is essential for deep hip rotations.

In contrast, lateral flexion and forward bend stretches do not focus specifically on hip rotation, as they primarily address the spine and lateral musculature. A seated twist also involves some degree of hip mobility, but it focuses more on spinal rotation rather than the targeted deep hip rotation that occurs through leg manipulation in a supine position.
