Toe Tap – 4-Way, Band
Is this for yourself or for a patient?
HOW: Loop a resistance band around your legs just above your knees. Position your feet about shoulder width apart slightly pushing out on the band with both legs. Perform a small hip hinge and slightly bend your knees. Shift most of your weight to one side. With the other side, reach out with your foot forwards, sideways, diagonally back, and straight back. All of your weight stays on the stationary foot, the other leg pushing out on the band in the four different directions.
FEEL: You should feel your stationary leg muscles working the most.
COMPENSATION: Don’t let the stationary leg’s knee bend in, stay strong as you move the opposite leg.
