Spanish Squat (Isometric)

Instructions

• Stand into a band that is securely placed around an object that is not going to move when you lean away
• Walk backwards creating a tension in the band
• Standing with your feet hip distance apart
• Have both feet facing forward
• Think about leading the movement from your sit bones
• Gently bend your knees and then swing your sit bones behind you and let the band counter balance you
• Let your trunk lean forward while trying to keep your spine aligned
• Keep the back of your neck nice and long
• Go to the depth that feels comfortable for you but not below 90 degrees – you should feel tightness at the back of the thigh
• Hold and repeat as per physiotherapist guidelines
