The Comerford hip complex help promote internal and external rotation.
Dr. Riley:
This drill is called Comerford hip complex. This is a great drill, a basic drill to develop hip, internal, and external rotation. Sabrie is on her side. We’re in a sideline position. We’re going to stay really stable throughout her pelvis, ankles are down. The knee is simply going to open up like a clam shell. All the while, we’re not going to move throughout her pelvis, so we’re going to stay really stable. I just want her to move in her hip, 10 to 15 reps of that working on external rotation, and then we’re going to do the opposite. Stable pelvis, knees together, that ankle is going to come up. This one might be a little more challenging for you, working on internal rotation. 10 to 15 reps there, as well. This is called Comerford hip complex, a great drill to work on, external and internal rotation of the hip.
