Anterior Hip Capsule Glide
Exercise Overview
ANTERIOR HIP CAPSULAR GLIDE This is a band assisted hip capsule mobilization technique used to target the anterior capsule. Start by anchoring a heavy strength / pullup assist band at hip height while in a tall kneel position. Loop the other end around your target hip then rotate your hip externally. Allow the band to pull your femoral head forwards (do not resisted the band’s pull) to feel a capsular stretch at the front of your hip. You may hold this for up to 30-60 seconds.
