Hip Adduction (Neutral)

Setup

Frame Setup Diagram

1: Lie supine, sacrum centred over the middle gridline on base mat. Position hips at 30° flexion, using a foam roller or similar.

2: Adjust housing height to align flat pad with apex of medial femoral condyles

3: Feet in line with knees/hips and patella (knee caps) pointing to the ceiling.

4: Record height of top of carriers for future reference

Cues

1: Test bilaterally

2: Squeeze into pads, pulling upper thighs together.

3: Maintain lumbar neutral, flat/still sacrum and abdominal wall flat/hollow.

4: Discourage gluteal contraction (buttock squeeze)

5: Feel fatigue/work in the adductor group

6: Build to maximum force over 5 seconds
