These are different stretches used by many different doctors and therapist to extend and flex the muscles. This often checks the length of muscles in comparison to the regular length of muscles and helps to work them so they do not tighten up or malfunction due to decreased exercise. Flexion usually is started by pointing the toes to stretch the muscles up the legs and into the lumbar area in the back. Extension is usually when you stretch a part of the body the opposite direction past it's normal point of movement. These exercise of the muscles are used in relief of many muscle and tendon conditions.

What muscles attaches to the lumbar vertebrae and femur?

The primary muscles that attach to the lumbar vertebrae and the femur include the psoas major and the iliacus, which together form the iliopsoas muscle. The psoas major originates from the lumbar vertebrae and inserts onto the lesser trochanter of the femur, playing a crucial role in hip flexion. Additionally, the quadratus lumborum muscle, which stabilizes the lumbar spine, indirectly influences the femur's position through its connection to the pelvis.
