alternative stretch

[backinjured]

Is there an alternative stretch (well if you have more than one, tell me!) for Dynamic Leg Raises to Sides? That stretch seems too deadly for my knees so I'd like to find another way of increasing flexibility for high side kicks.

I guess that side lunges may provide some kind of dynamic flexibility but i would imagine this could be even more stressful to your knees.
If you find the dynamic side leg raise a problem i would have thought that actually performing side kicks would be even worse.

point your toes up to take the stress off the knee.
