Isometric Hip Adduction

This exercise is Isometric Hip Adduction and its aim is to strengthen the muscles on the inside of your thighs.

Start by lying on your back with your knees bent, with either a ball or towel between your knees.

Slowly then put pressure on the ball or towel by bringing your knees together, increasing the resistance/pressure over time.

If you find this exercise too easy you may find the Standing Hip Adduction exercise more challenging – a video of this exercise is on our channel. If you find it too hard or painful, try changing the position of your feet or angle of your hips, as this may make things more manageable.

Aim to complete the duration and sets as suggested in your free rehabilitation programme from our website.
