Step by Step

  1. This exercise is a great exercise for your hip adductors and groin
  2. Like any exercise this should be pain free or shouldn’t increase existing pain levels, during, after and the next day.
  3. It is normal to feel some delayed onset muscle soreness between 48-72 hours but this should be manageable
  4. Lie down on your side with your body completely straight. Take the bottom arm out to the side so that you are supported on you forearm.
  5. Bend you bottom knee and hip so that they are out of the way of the step. Place your upper leg onto a step with your knee straight, make sure that your foot is the only thing on the step.
  6. Next raise the pelvis off the ground until your body is in a straight line.
  7. At the top you should only be in contact with your forearm and your leg.
  8. Now hold this position and then flex the hip as far as you can without losing spinal neutral
  9. Your reps are the number of leg drives
  10. Once completed slowly lower back down
  11. For strengthening you should perform 6-10 reps to fatigue

  13. This session can be done 2-3 times per week

Online Physiotherapy

Put simply this is Physio done via either telephone or video over the internet. Skype and facetime are examples of this.

Contrary to popular belief online physiotherapy can be very effective and it can help the same injuries that face to face physio can help. I have helped many people with injuries such as disc prolapses, tennis elbow, neck pain and much more).
