Starting Position: Stand with your feet hip width apart. Engage your lower abdominals by drawing in from below your belly button, and tighten your gluteal muscles to maintain a neutral spine position. Lift one leg off the floor so that you are balancing on one leg. Hold onto a dowel or something stable like a countertop in front of you. Movement: Keeping your core engaged, slowly begin to lower your body down into a single leg squat by hinging at the hips and sitting back into your hips. Your opposite knee is extended straight out, and most of your body weight is in the heel of the foot on the ground. Push through your hip to stand back up again. Repeat as prescribed by your therapist.
