Sample Exercise: Knee Scratcher

This exercise combines core strength, hip balance, and stability in one movement. This is an anti-rotational exercise. When performed properly, it increases strength and stability in order to prevent rotation. The exercise also emphasizes hip mobility and stability.

Instructions:

2. Brace your core and bend your left knee, driving it up to your left elbow. Touch your knee to your elbow and pause.

3. Slowly slide your knee down your left arm to your wrist.

4. Lift your knee back up to touch your left elbow.

Tips: Keep your elbows fully extended. Form a straight line from the back of your shoulders to your heels throughout exercise.
