1Hip Abduction
- Stand close to a kitchen bench or a pole/support.
- Lift one leg out to the side while keeping the other supported on the ground.
- Avoid shifting the weight through the pelvis or hitching the hip up.
- Repeat as per physiotherapist guidelines.

Can do foot tap to the side as an easier variation
2Sit to Stand
- Sitting, shuffle your bottom forward towards the front of the chair.
- Please use your hands on the chair if needed – or attempt with no hands if able.
- Lean your trunk forward and place your weight firmly on the floor.
- Press through your feet and press the knees gently wide.
- Press through your feet (and hands if needed) and stand up.
- To reverse the process, ensure you can feel the chair at the back of your knees.
- Place your hands back to feel for the chair.
- Let your sit bones swing back bending your knees and leaning your trunk forward.
- Lower yourself slowly and safely to the chair.
- Repeat as prescribed.
