Mini Squat - Wall Supported

Is this for yourself or for a patient?

  • HOW: Stand with a wall in front of you and your feet shoulder-width apart. Place both hands on the wall for support. Slightly lean into the wall as you bend both knees and hinge forward at the hips to perform a mini squat. Only go down as far as you feel comfortable. Push into the ground and return to the starting position. 
  • FEEL: You should feel the muscles in your legs working. 
  • COMPENSATION: Don’t go too low with the squat.
