Description: Lie on your back with a stable pelvis and aligned leg. Slowly perform full circles with the leg, controlling the movement to mobilize the hip without moving the pelvis or the knee.

Tips: Keep the pelvis immobile and the knee aligned to avoid compensation. Perform the circles smoothly and in a controlled manner.

Progression: Gradually increase the number of circles or the speed of movement as you feel comfortable.
