Hip Abduction/Adduction

In this video, Alex demonstrated how to perform Hip Abduction/Adduction

  • Lying down, keep the leg straight and the toes pointed toward the ceiling
  • Move the leg out to the side and back in, making sure to keep you toes and knee cap pointed toward the ceiling
  • Your opposite leg can be positioned in a straight or bent knee position, whichever is more comfortable for you
  • When sliding the leg, a plastic bag, piece of cardboard or flat cookie sheet can be used under the heel to reduce the friction/effort until you get stronger

Perform 5-10 reps, 1-2x per day

The number of exercise repetitions and sets per day are just a suggestion and should be adjusted, as needed, to fit your fitness level and tolerance.
