Wall Banger
WALL BANGER
The wall banger is a hip abduction eccentric strengthening exercise. Stand next to the wall with your hip approximately 1 foot from the wall. Keep you feet at hip distance apart. Shift your pelvis to the side as to tap the wall gently with the outer hip. Keep the hips squared forwards during the lateral shift. Be sure not to lean into the wall or to allow gravity to accelerate the movement. Slowly return to standing position by squeezing the outer hip muscles.
