Potential Exercises

Notes from a friend about exercises with the out of line pelvis/hip/PS joint... some I was told never to do, (like the lunge) so this is somewhat interesting.


do a "correction" twice a day.

To do this, sit on the edge of a chair and push your right leg into the floor, and push up with the left leg while pushing it down with hands.


Stretches:

sitting on a chair and cross one leg (man style) and push down to get a stretch in the back of the leg near the hip and butt. this is where I am tighest.

hamstring stretch

lunge stretch - stretch the top leg muscles that connect to the hip.

tail wag stretch - on all fours, and wag your butt back and forth


Exercises:

Clamshell - lay on side with knees bent. Lift top leg up and open like a clamshell. Hold for 2 seconds at the top. Do 10 of these, each side.

Squats leaning against a door - basically sliding down a flat surface and back up.

Get on all fours and pull tummy up and hold for 5 seconds.
