Hip Adduction Isometric

Professional Rationale
A basic isometric for the hip adductors. A great exercise for very early post hip arthroplasty rehabilitation or any traumatic lower extremity injury or surgery.

Client Rationale
This is an isometric exercise for your hip adductors. An isometric contraction is when you activate a muscle without moving the joint it controls. Your hip adductors are a group of muscles that help to bring your leg toward midline and functionally they help to stabilize the legs and pelvis.



Instructions

• Bend knees up to about 90 degrees.
• Put a pillow between your knees.
