Fixed Knee Side Lying Hip CAR

We can choose to fix our knee and isolate the hip more here than in the straight leg hip CAR, (controlled articular rotation). I encourage clients to hold on to something heavy; or have the arms straight out in front of the mid torso. Doing this will allow you to remain neutral hip to shoulder. To truly create more space and get the benefit of FRC, we need to remain strong in our core and pelvic positions to maximize active rotation of the joint with a stabile trunk! This is the whole point. Thus, don’t complain about less space in the joint and pain if you are unable to toughen up and do it properly. This isn’t really a program for butter cream and biscuits. For best results, use an ankle weight after initiating form and perform 2-3 sets of 4 slowly on each leg 2 to 4 times per week.
