Description: |
- Assume side lying position with 30 degrees knee flexion and upper elbow on floor.
- While keeping feet together separate at the knees. Resist the tendency to want to move at the hips and instead make sure all movement is coming from the gluts.
- Try placing your clients hand over the Glut med muscle so they can focus on engaging this muscle to initiate the movement.
- Rather than adding band resistance around the knees progress movement by placing the upper leg into more hip extension which should further engage the glut med muscle.
- Make sure movement is pain free. Stop immediately if deep hip pain.
