Low BackCoreHip

STALE BUG BRIDGES

This exercise trains the body on many levels. Here we do a single leg loaded hip extension while using the other leg to provide core resistance. The elevated leg is raise to 90 degrees knee flexion to put the pelvis in a neutral rotation. This exercise also helps to uncouple movement at the lumbar spine from the hips.

Muscles Involved:

  • Gluteus Maximus

  • Core

  • Hip Flexors

Related Conditions:

  • Sacroiliac Joint Syndrome

  • Low Back Pain

  • Glute Amnesia
