  • Sit upright on a chair or bench with your feet flat on the floor, hip-width apart.
  • Wrap a theraband around both thighs, just above your knees. Make sure the band is secure but not too tight.
  • Engage your core and keep your back straight throughout the movement.
  • Press your knees outward against the resistance of the theraband, keeping your feet flat and your torso stable.
  • Hold the end position briefly, feeling the muscles on the outside of your hips engage.
  • Slowly bring your knees back to the starting position with control.
  • Complete repetitions as prescribed by your physiotherapist.
