Instructions

    • Stand next to a sturdy stationary object, such as a table leg or door frame.

    • Position yourself with the inside of your ankle resting against the object, so that your legs are straight and feet together.

    • Shift your weight slightly onto the opposite leg for balance, keeping your standing leg straight but not locked.

    • Press the inside of your ankle against the stationary object, engaging your inner thigh muscles (adductors). Maintain an upright posture, ensuring your hips stay level and your core is engaged.

    • Hold the contraction steadily, focusing on a controlled isometric squeeze against the object.

    • Keep your breathing regular and your body still, preventing any movement from the hips or torso.

    • Hold for the duration prescribed by your physiotherapist.

    • Gently release the pressure and relax before repeating.

    • Hold/maintain as prescribed by your physiotherapist.
