Supine Leg Circle
Is this for yourself or for a patient?
HOW: Get set up by lying on your back. Bend one knee and place that foot flat on the ground. Straighten the opposite leg and lift that leg off the ground. While keeping your knee straight, draw a circle in a clockwise motion first, then counterclockwise after that. Keep your pelvis neutral pushing into the ground to stabilize as needed. 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 and keep your core engaged by maintaining a strong neutral pelvis
