Starting Position- Begin lying supine, flex both hips and extend knees until a slight stretch if felt. Your hands should be placed with palms up by your side and your head flat.
Execution at a glance- Begin with the toes pointed, reaching out toward the ceiling. Lower one leg to the floor/ground maintaining flat lumbar spine, place a bolster under the foot if the athlete has difficulty lowering leg to floor (progress by removing bolster). Perform movement 5-10 times bilateral for 3-5 sets.
Safety Tips and Verbal Cueing- Maintain a flat lumbar spine and keep the toes pointed. Keep palms facing upward and head flat. Utilize bolster in order to perform exercise correctly. Take special note of right and left asymmetries, focusing on the weakness.
