Part 3...our Physical Therapist Assistant, Alex Driggers demonstrating some easy and quick strengthening exercises that target the Gluteus Medius, an important muscle responsible for hip stability. 3/3 Standing Hip Abduction Alex's favorite exercise! Stand at a counter top or stable surface and lightly keep your hands on the counter for safety and balance. With a straight knee, gently swing your leg out to the side and in line with the rest of your body, like shown during Sidelying Abduction and then slowly bring your leg back to starting position. Complete sets of 10 as tolerated. (For an extra challenge, try to keep the swinging leg/foot off of the ground)
