knee to chest
Thigh toward torso
Knee to chest describes a position where one or both knees are drawn up toward the torso.
In exercise and physical therapy, it's a common stretch for the lower back: Lie on your back and pull your knees to your chest.
The position also appears in medical contexts for certain examinations and in yoga as a resting pose.
