It’s Rehab Thursday! - where we’ll be presenting variations of rehab exercises for a specific body part 😊

Today: the groin! There’s hardly such a thing as too much frontal plane training, so here we go! ⬇️
Side planks - using only our top leg (or modify it like shown here).
1️⃣ Bottom leg in max hip flexion! The toughest one.
2️⃣ Bottom leg resting on the ground in some hip flexion.
3️⃣ Bottom leg resting right in front of the other.

Best part is you can modify based on ability 👍🏼
Copenhagen plank: the classic! Can be done with a partner/chair/short table.

1️⃣ Use the knee as the anchor point to make the exercise a bit easier. Isometric holds and/or the dynamic version can be used.
2️⃣ Use the foot as the anchor point for the full version!
1️⃣ Stretch band sidesteps: the further you get, the tougher it is.
2️⃣ Mini-squat squeezes: a good pairing of exercises since you’re already in the setup! 😀

The key is slow, controlled movements.
Slider lateral squats: another great self-modulating exercise. The more you put pressure on the sliding leg, the more work it has to do.

And in reps 3 & 4, allowing the center of mass to move along with the sliding leg can ⬆️ demand.
Lastly, because we believe in variation & everyone has different types of equipment...some good ol’ plate slides 🤗
We included variations in concentric, isometric, eccentric contractions; lengthened or shortened positions, etc., to help with being thoughtful and purpose-oriented in our rehabs.
