Is this for yourself or for a patient?
- HOW: Begin seated with a band looped just above your knees. Spread your feet apart just enough to create tension in the band. Keep your feet flat as you push both of your knees outward and hold that position for the prescribed amount of time.
- FEEL: You should feel your hip muscles working.
- COMPENSATION: Keep your back straight, don’t slouch. Keep your feet flat and underneath your knees.
