Instructions

  • Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, toes pointing slightly outward.
  • Place a theraband around your thighs, just above your knees. Make sure it is secure but not overly tight.
  • Engage your core and keep your chest lifted and back straight.
  • Begin the movement by pushing your hips back as if sitting into a chair, while bending your knees.
  • Focus on pressing your knees outward against the band to keep them aligned directly over your toes, resisting the inward pull.
  • Lower yourself down until the height recommended by your Physiotherapist, or as far as is comfortable, ensuring your weight remains through your heels.
  • Push through your heels and squeeze your glutes as you rise back up to a standing position, maintaining the outward pressure on the band.
  • Complete repetitions as prescribed by your physiotherapist.
