Sidelying Hip Circle
Is this for yourself or for a patient?
HOW: Get set up by lying on your side. Bend the bottom knee. Lift up the opposite leg and while keeping your knee straight draw a circle in a clockwise motion first, then counterclockwise after that. The bigger the circle the harder the exercise is.
FEEL: You should feel your hip and core muscles working.
COMPENSATION: Keep your knee straight, don’t bend it. Only allow motion in your hip, don’t move your upper body or back. Do not roll forward or back on your hips, keep them stacked.
