Standing Hip Internal External Rotation
Professional Rationale
This is a gentle exercise for a painful hip whether it be post-operatively or due to a reactive synovitis or soft tissue issue.
Client Rationale
This is an exercise that helps to distract the hip joint and help to lubricate the joint surfaces.

- Allow outside leg to hang free over the edge of the step.
- Turn your foot inwards and outwards keeping your toes in line with your kneecap. Feel the muscles in the hip working.
