PRONE HIP EXTENSION

This is a hip extension range of motion and strengthening exercise. Be sure to minimize the amount of extension that occurs in the low back or anterior pelvic tilt to isolate the movement to the hip joint. Lie down on your stomach and lift your heel up towards the ceiling while keeping the knee straight. Hold for 5-10 seconds and slowly lower your leg back down to the ground. Repeat as required.

Muscles Involved:
