Dr. Riley has a Fit Tip drill to help you with lateral hip stability and mobility
Dr. Riley:
This drill’s called sideline clams with resistance. This is a great drill to work on lateral hip stability. Also, we’re able to work on a little bit of mobility here, okay? So, I have Brie laying in a sideline position, okay? Her knees are going to be bent to about 45 degrees and we’ve given her a little mini band right above her knees, okay? You can pick these up at any sporting goods store. Okay, this is going to give her a little bit of resistance, okay?
From here, we’re going to open up her hips just like a clam would open up, okay? Back and forth. We’re going to work on stability and mobility within the hips here. Most importantly, we want to imagine a pole going down through her hip, through her other hip. So her hips aren’t rocking back, she’s staying very stable and neutral throughout her pelvis, and we’re going to open up and close, okay? It’s a great drill to work on, hip stability and mobility, 10 to 15 reps. This is sideline clam shells with resistance.
