The first thing you can do is simply lie on your back and bring your knees toward your chest for 3-5 minutes. Do not bounce the legs, but simply hold them toward your chest. your head should be relaxed, and you should be able to breathe easily. The second posture is easily achieved by placing your legs up onto a couch or chair. The hips and knees should be at a 90 degree angle, and the head and back  can be relaxed. Maintain this position for 20 or more minutes. If the discomfort persists, call your doctor or chiropractic for an evaluation and adjustment.
