Hip abduction (lying on back)
- Lie on your back with your legs straight and your feet hip-width apart. Keep your toes pointed up toward the ceiling.
- Tighten the thigh muscles of your affected leg.
- Slowly slide the leg out to the side, then back. Be careful that your leg does not cross the center line of your body toward the other leg.
- Repeat 8 to 12 times.
- It's a good idea to repeat these steps with your other leg.
