Lateral Cone Shuffle

Is this for yourself or for a patient?

  • HOW: Set up two cones on the ground in a line on opposite ends of each other. Stand on one end with the other cone to your side. Slightly bend your knees and hinge forward at the waist. Shift your weight to the balls of your feet as you shuffle laterally towards the other cone. Once the outside foot is behind the other cone, reach down and diagonally with your inside hand to touch the cone. Shuffle towards the other side and repeat for the prescribed amount of reps. 
  • FEEL: You should feel your leg muscles working while shuffling. You should also feel your inner thigh muscles working as you reach for the cone. 
  • COMPENSATION: Reach with the inside hand down to the cone, not the outside hand.
