Instructions
- Position yourself lying sideways on the floor next to a bench or sturdy surface.
- Place your top leg (working leg) on the bench so that your foot or calf is resting on it, with the leg extended.
- Your bottom leg (unaffected leg) should be resting on top of the working leg.
- Support your upper body by propping yourself up on your forearm, maintaining a straight line from your shoulders to your hips.
- Using the adductor muscles of your working leg, lift your hips off the ground, bringing your body into a side plank position.
- Keep the unaffected leg passive while allowing it to rest on the working leg.
- Slowly lower your hips back down toward the floor but do not let them touch the ground.
- Complete repetitions as prescribed by your physiotherapist.
