Ball Squeeze Hip Extension
Exercise Overview
This is a hip extensor strengthening and range of motion exercise. Stand on one leg and place a tennis, lacrosse or massage ball behind the knee and squeeze it together using your calf and hamstring. You may hold onto a stable object for balance. Extend the hip by kicking the leg back and maintain muscular contraction for 5-10 seconds. Be sure to isolate movement to the hip joint by minimizing movement occurring in the low back and pelvis.
