This exercise is Isometric Hip Flexion and its aim is to strengthen the muscles and tendons on the front of your hip.
This can be performed in lying or sitting. Move your thigh up so your hip is at 90 degrees. Using your hands push against your thigh downwards and aim to keep your leg in the same position. The muscles and tendons on the front of your thigh will be working hard to keep your leg in the same position.
If you find this exercise too easy you may want to attempt Hip Flexion in Standing - there is a video of this exercise on our channel.
Follow the suggested duration, or reps and sets in your rehab programme as a guide.
