4-point kneeling hip abduction with band

Instructions

• Place a resistance band around both thighs, just above your knees.
• Start in a 4-point kneeling position with your hands directly under your shoulders and your knees under your hips.
• Gently brace your abdominal muscles and maintain a comfortable, neutral spine.
• Keeping your knee bent, slowly lift one knee out to the side against the resistance of the band.
• Keep your pelvis level and facing the floor as you lift your leg.
• Lift only as far as you can while maintaining good trunk and pelvic control.
• Slowly lower your knee back to the starting position.
• Complete repetitions as prescribed by your physiotherapist.
