How to do the exercise

Sets: 3

Description: Lie on your side, with the lower leg bent for stability and the upper leg extended. Slowly bring the extended leg toward the midline of the body while controlling the movement, then return to the starting position.

Tips: Keep the pelvis stable and avoid tilting the trunk during the movement. Perform the movement slowly to effectively mobilize the hip.

Progression: Gradually increase the number of repetitions or add light resistance with a resistance band when the movement becomes easy.
