Exercise Band Hip Adduction - Supine

Professional Rationale
This is an exercise band strengthening exercise that helps to engage the adductors of the hip. It is a great exercise for any patient with adductor weakness including post knee and hip arthroplasty, as well as strengthening the core.

Client Rationale

• Fix the exercise band to a table and then loop around your ankle.
• Lying on your back on the floor with one knee bent.
• Bring your leg towards midline.
• Do not move at your pelvis or trunk.
