Staggered Sit To Stand - Reach Towards Rear Leg
Is this for yourself or for a patient?
- HOW: Stand in front of a chair or sturdy surface. Slightly stagger your feet to where one foot’s toes are aligned with the middle of the other foot. Perform a sit to stand by bending both knees, hinging forward at the hips and sitting all the way back on the chair or surface. As you are going back, extend your arms out and rotate your body towards the foot that is back in your stance. Rotate back up straight on your way up and repeat.
- FEEL: You should feel your lower body muscles working and stretch in your back.
- COMPENSATION: Twist only to rear foot side.
