Side Plank Pulse with Leg Extension

Physical Therapy First demonstration of Side Plank Pulse with Leg Extension

Starting Position: Begin in a side plank position, supporting your body on one forearm with your elbow directly under your shoulder. Your legs should be stacked or slightly staggered for balance, with your top leg extended straight and lifted slightly. Engage your core and keep your body in a straight line from head to heels.

Movement: Slowly lower your hips toward the floor in a controlled manner, then press back up to the starting position. As you lift, extend your top leg forward away from your body, keeping it straight. Hold briefly at the top before lowering your hips and leg back down with control.

Perform as prescribed by your therapist, ensuring smooth and controlled movements throughout the exercise.
