This exercise is Hip Flexion in Standing and its aim is to strengthen the muscles on the front of your thigh, along with improve the general mobility of the hip.
In standing, simply lift your thigh upwards until your hip is flexed to 90 degrees. To ensure this exercise is safe it may be helpful to hold onto something for your balance, and for comfort making sure your knee bends as you move your thigh will make the movement a little easier to perform.
If you find this exercise too difficult you may find the Isometric Hip Flexion exercise easier, there is a video of this exercise on our channel.
If you find this exercise too easy, you may want to use ankle weights or resistance bands to make it a little more challenging.
Follow the suggested duration, or reps and sets in your free rehab programme as a guide.
