Hip extension

You will need 18 to 24 inches of rubber tubing or an elastic band (eg, Theraband®) to perform these exercises. Secure the tubing around the leg of a heavy piece of furniture or close it in a door. Stand facing the furniture/door and place the injured leg in the loop of the tubing. You should not have any slack in the tubing. Hold the door/furniture and extend the injured leg backwards, stretching the tubing as far as possible. Hold for 5 seconds. Slowly return the leg to the floor. Rest as needed. Repeat 10 to 15 times (one set). Perform a total of 3 sets.
