The Reformer feet in straps circles exercise is a movement that strengthens the hip muscles, lower abdominal muscles, and pelvic stabilisers while improving hip mobility and coordination.
It challenges core control as the legs move through circular patterns against the resistance of the reformer straps.
This exercise is often prescribed to enhance lumbopelvic stability, lower limb control, and movement awareness.
Lie on your back on the reformer carriage with your head supported and arms relaxed by your sides.
Place both feet into the straps with the legs extended toward the ceiling.
Press the legs together and maintain gentle tension through the straps.
Slowly circle the legs downward together, outward, and up around back together in a smooth controlled motion.
Only move through a range where the pelvis and lower back remain stable against the carriage.
Complete the prescribed number of circles in one direction, then reverse the movement.
Complete repetitions as prescribed by your physiotherapist.
