90/90 Hip Switch Stretch
Is this for yourself or for a patient?
- HOW: Begin in a seated position with both knees bent on the ground. One knee should be lying on its outside, and the other should be lying on its inside. Sit up tall, hinge forward at the hips and lean towards the knee lying on its outer edge and hold that stretch for about five seconds. Then, rotate to the other side while keeping your heels on the ground and rotate your legs in the other direction again hinging forward at the hip towards the knee laying on it’s outer edge.. Perform that stretch on each side for the prescribed amount of reps.
- FEEL: You should feel a stretch in each hip as you lean forward.
- COMPENSATION: Keep your back straight, don’t hunch forwards as you lean into each stretch.
