Isometric Squat - Band
Is this for yourself or for a patient?
- HOW: Start with your feet slightly wider than shoulder width. Place the band loop just above your knees. Keeping your weight even, begin to squat down. As you squat down, push out with your knees and hold that for the prescribed amount of time.
- FEEL: You should feel the muscles in your hips and glutes working.
- COMPENSATION: Keep your weight centered. Don’t squat too far forward or backward. Don’t slouch your back as you squat. Keep the tension in the band as you hold the squat position.
