Stand with both feet firmly planted directly underneath the hips (the affected side away from the ball)
Position the fitball below the hip in the middle portion of the outer thigh
Lifting the foot closest to the wall off the floor, maintain pelvic control
Press the knee into the fitball towards the wall
Soften the standing leg and move the hips slightly back
Hold for 5-8 seconds
Muscle activation should be felt in the lateral hip of the supporting leg
NOTE: an advancement is shown in the video below “arabesque” where the leg in contact with the ball extends. This needs to be completed under the guise of your treating therapist.
