Standing Clam - Band

Is this for yourself or for a patient?

  • HOW: Begin in a standing position with you a band around your knees just above your knee cap. Have your feet wide enough to create some tension. Keep your toes pointed forward as you slightly bend your knees and hinge forward at the hips. From here, push the band out and back in with both knees at the same time while keeping your feet flat on the ground. Do this for the prescribed amount of reps. 
  • FEEL: You should feel your hip muscles working. 
  • COMPENSATION: Keep tension in the band at all times. Stay in a small squat position as well.
