Lateral Pelvic Mobility

Instructions

• This is essentially lengthening your pelvis on one side – what we do for weight bearing and walking
• Lie with knees bent up in crook lying
• Visualise widening or lengthening your sitbones towards your heels
• This will create a small arch in your lower back
• Do not allow your ribcage to elevate to achieve the movement – drive from the sitbones
• Lengthen one sitbone to the heel on the same side
• The other sitbone will naturally shorten
• Alternate side to side
• Repeat 10 times each side – slow controlled movement
• You may find it useful to place your hands on the front of your pelvis to get feedback of the movement occurring
