Standing Pelvic Stabilizer Mobilization

Improve hip mobility & core stability! This gentle exercise helps mobilize your pelvis for better balance and posture.

Instructions

  1. Starting Position:

    • Stand tall next to a sturdy chair. Place your left hand on the chair for balance.

    • Raise your right leg and place your right foot on the seat of the chair. Your knee should be bent at about 90 degrees.

  2. Foot Placement:

    • Ensure your right foot is flat on the chair. Your weight should be evenly distributed between both legs.

  3. Engaging Your Core:

    • Tighten your abdominal muscles slightly to maintain stability throughout the exercise.

  4. Movement:

    • Slowly lower your right leg so that your foot is hovering just above the chair.

    • Focus on using your hip flexors and glutes to control the movement.

  5. Return to Start:

    • Raise your right leg back to the starting position on the chair while maintaining your core engagement.

  6. Repetitions:

    • Perform 10-15 repetitions on the right leg.

  7. Switch Sides:

    • After completing the repetitions on the right leg, switch and repeat the same movement on the left leg.

  8. Breathing:

    • Inhale as you lower the leg and exhale as you lift it back up.

  9. Tips:

    • Keep your back straight and avoid leaning forward or to the side.

    • If you're struggling with balance, feel free to hold onto the chair with both hands.

  10. Cooldown:

    • After completing your sets, take a moment to stretch your hips and legs to relax the muscles used during the exercise.
