The content in this video is provided for general information purposes only and is not meant to replace a physiotherapy or medical consultation.

Step by Step

  1. This is a good exercise for the Hip external rotators, which are commonly weak and not targeted from traditional gym exercises.
  2. Like any exercise you should only do the exercise if it is pain free during, after and the next day.
  3. In sitting on a high surface so that your legs are off the floor, tie an exercise band around your ankle at one end and attach the other end at mid shin height on the same side that you will be training
  4. Make sure that your knee is bend to 90 degrees and that the slack is taken up with your hip in full internal rotation, meaning turned towards the band attachment side
  5. Now turn your leg as to move your foot position away from the attached side
  6. Keep your knees at 90 degrees throughout the movement and keep your knees fixed in the same spot as to pivot at the knee
  7. Once you can’t take the foot any further inwards then slowly return to the start position and repeat.
  8. To make the exercise harder increase to a higher band resistance level
  9. For strengthening you should perform 6-10 reps to fatigue
  10. You should perform 3-5 sets with 3 minutes rests
  11. This session can be done 2-3 times per week
  12. For endurance you should perform 15-25 reps to fatigue
  13. You should perform 3-5 sets with no more than 30 second rests
  14. 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).
