Additional Cue: Activate your deep abdominal muscles (transversus abdominis) and flatten your lower back against the floor with a posterior pelvic tilt. Maintain the posterior pelvic tilt throughout the exercise

You should feel your lower abs doing the work and feel that they stay contracted under your fingers throughout the exercise. Try to think of using your lower abs to lift the front hip bone towards your ribs as you lift the leg. Maintain the contraction and posterior pelvic tilt as you lower the leg back down.

You don’t have to lift your leg as high as in the video. Perform the exercise as instructed by your physical therapist during your last treatment session.
