Attach an ankle cuff to the low pulley on the cable machine and secure it comfortably around the ankle of the working leg.
Stand side-on to the machine, holding the frame or handle lightly for balance.
Shift your weight onto your standing leg, keeping a slight bend in the knee and your trunk upright.
Gently brace your core and keep your pelvis level.
Leading with your heel, slowly move your working leg out to the side in a controlled motion, keeping your toes pointing forward or very slightly inward.
Pause briefly at the top of the movement, feeling the muscles at the side of your hip contract.
Return your leg slowly back to the starting position without letting the cable pull you back too quickly.
Complete repetitions as prescribed by your physiotherapist.
